>> I'm forwarding this message from Adam Marsland, a musician I know  
>> who lives in Reseda. His family has dealt with a fair amount of  
>> tragedy in the last couple of years, but the bright spot is that he  
>> inherited this really gorgeous 7' Mason Hamlin grand piano.  
>> Unfortunately, he's unable to store or maintain it, mostly because  
>> he's unemployed. He posted this blog on Myspace, and I wanted to  
>> pass it along to anyone who might know somebody who'd be  
>> interested. His email address is adamghost at aol.com.
>> Thanks for helping out.

>> When my brother passed away last year, he willed me his 7' Mason  
>> Hamlin BB series grand piano. It's approximately 5 years old,  
>> extremely well cared for, and is far and away the best piano I have  
>> ever played.
>>
>> The will has just been probated and I will need to deal shortly  
>> with moving the piano out of my brother's old apartment in San  
>> Francisco. I've decided, sadly, that I can't keep it...to keep the  
>> instrument properly maintained is beyond my ability right now. It's  
>> like having a Ferrari without a garage.
>>
>> I know this piano, even with a friend discount, is well beyond the  
>> means of 99% of the people reading this blog, especially in this  
>> economy. This is an investment grade piano, as good as or better  
>> than a Steinway (you can search Mason Hamlin BB on e-Bay to get a  
>> rough idea of what it's worth) But before I start the arduous  
>> process of contacting dealers and/or selling through an online  
>> auction service, I want to put the word out among my friends and  
>> fans in case this is something anybody'd be interested in buying it  
>> for themselves.
>>
>> I'd feel better knowing that my brother's piano was in the hands of  
>> someone that supported my music and that truly cared, and I'd be  
>> willing to sell the piano below value to make that happen. I'd also  
>> be willing to take part of the transaction in trade for other gear  
>> that I might be able to use so the cash part of it is a little easier.
>>
>> I can also provide free shipping.
>>
>> If you might be interested, or know someone who might be, please e- 
>> mail me.
