Re: Piano placement

2004-07-13 by deanbruce84

Robert, suffice it to say that my dad spoiled my mother for 50 years 
of marriage. He had a stroke 3 years ago making mother the care-giver 
now.   She can't make decisions - took 10 years to decide on new 
carpeting.   Their new place is a single-level duplex in a retirement 
community that will be easier on both of them.   Yes, it is the piano 
that I learned on but I have no attachment to it as I have my 
disklavier.   That is more than enough boring details of my family 
life for this group to suffer through.

Now, the question still stands, is it ok to put a piano on an 
exterior wall???
