Baby Grand Piano - Free to a Good Home!! - Needs to be gone before 21 November

I need to dispose of a baby grand piano on behalf of someone. The piano and stool are free but you would have to pay for a mover. I could assist to organise that with my contacts which, given it's movers busiest time of the year, would be useful.

The owner says: The tone is quite lovely and it sounds good when played. I can’t swear to the length but it should be about 4’11. It's due for a tune. The ivories are in good condition, nothing sticky about the hammers. It's a basic piano and a beautiful piece of furniture. I need to let it go and would be very happy for someone to take it for the cost of moving.
A piano reconditioning specialist said: It's a reasonably good make. It needs work, including restringing. The easiest is to give it away "as is" on the understanding it needs work. It is a baby grand so will always be a bit short on tone.

Please call me on 027 450 5057 if you are seriously interested.
I can't seem to add a picture but can send one separately if needed.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the kind people who stopped and picked up our beloved kitty, Flash, after he was struck by a vehicle on Tuesday night.

All I know is that he was found near the Upland Road bridge in Kelburn and was kindly taken to the After Hours Vet in Ngauranga that same evening.

Sadly, Flash didn’t make it through the night due to the impact and resulting internal injuries.

If the people who helped him happen to read this — thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your kindness and compassion.

Rest in peace, dear Flash. You gave us seven wonderful years of joy — such a cool, special dude of a kitty. ❤️
