    is a most sad and regrettable piece of news. It's almost as bad as the debacle in the UK over the organ at Wolverhampton Town Hall https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/wolverhampton/2019/02/12/no-alternative-wolverhampton-council-defends-decision-to-scrap-historic-organ-pipes/  so none of our authorities on either side of the pond are more enlightened or not than others.

    Best wishes

    Oh that's just terrible!🥺  UNCG, a local college around here, sends pianos they no longer need or want, to a 'surplus' place and they get sold for a small sum - usually they need a lot of attention and only sell for $500-$2,000.  But still...it's a place several rebuilders I know have found a few diamonds in the rough to rebuild and sell.  I'm not sure how the particulars work, but that is just shameful of that university.  They mustn't have tried that hard to find a church that wanted them, because many of the churches I work for would jump on that Knabe grand, messed up case or no.  

    so sad.
