Piano Monington and Western....nice piano
This Monington and Western is a
very tidy little piano that has been well looked after by a music teacher.
Made in 1956 Monington and Western have the distinction of a double cast iron frame in front and behind the sound board. This makes the tuning a bit more stable.
Phil Hayward, piano tuner from Wellington tuned this piano in April last year and he has said he is willing to stand by it that it is a good piano . He said it was an above average in quality as pianos go.
.
It is overstrung and underdampered.
It is smallish in size fitting nicely into rooms that are not large. Nice tone. Cabinet is in good condition with some marks, not too bad though.
Keys are also in excellent condition. No chips or scratches.
Nice action.
I had never even thought about replacing this piano but an opportunity came up unexpectedly that was too good to miss so I took the plunge and bought another one. (It is not delivered yet waiting till I sell this one)
Rosies charge $160 to shift a piano but they said that if they delivered the one I have just bought and then delivered my one to the new address they would give us a reduction in price.
Viewing is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
