Clarendon upright piano (manufactured by the Clarendon Piano Co, Rockford, Illinois.) with (3) pedals. Serial # 90056, which provides an approximate production date somewhere between 1915 and 1923, most probably 1920 or 1921.

The piano is located in Petaluma (southern Sonoma county).

The finish was originally all dark mahogany, but some time prior to my own acquisition of it, the face (and bench) were whitewashed, giving it something of a "white tuxedo" look. Sorry - I'm in full agreement that this would be a much nicer piano if this hadn't been done. I had considered stripping and refinishing it back to something closer to its original finish, but I've got quite a lot on my plate already with house remodelling.

Includes flip-top rectangular storage bench, with an internal flip mechanism for an alternate height setting (and slight cant).

The front half of the ivory face on D4 (4th octave - the key to the right of Middle C) is missing. While it is possible that this might show up while the piano is being moved, it should be expected that the key face will need to be replaced. This isn't a difficult thing to do.

I make no claim that this is an excellent piano - but it'll make a very affordable starter for encouraging your childs musical talent. This is a full 88 key keyboard, unlike some dinky Casio electronic keyboard which might otherwise be purchased on a budget. Remember, the Christmas/Channuka/Kwanzaa season is upon us, and of course, the school season only recently started - if you've got a child who just enrolled in music this year, right about now might be a good time for them to have a piano to work with at home.

It is in what I would call reasonable tune at present, though as with moving any piano, you should have it tuned after letting it acclimate to the humidity of the room you're moving it to.

If you want to try to move this yourself (which I do not advise, but a budget is a budget), I can assist with LOADING the piano into an open bed pickup (you should still bring at least two other capable adults, and a full-sized pickup, not a Mazda or similar tinkertoy truck). There's a reasonable straight shot through the hall to our (interior) garage door, which is about 30 inches above the garage slab, which makes it a pretty level shot out to an average pickup truck bed. I've got no problems making a heavy-duty ramp to meet up with a pickup bed. If you go the self-move route, you're on your own to get it into your home.

I am painting and replacing flooring in my home, and really don't want to be moving this back and forth - if you're interested, the sooner you can have it moved, the better.

Past CraigsList experiences have shown me that holding an item for someone to show up at some future date is folly, so this is a first come, first served opportunity.
