Please contact the Carolina Music Museum in Greenville, SC . I think they would be glad to accept the piano to add to their collection and it would be well maintained and cared for.

Dear colleagues,
Several weeks ago (while still working at the MFA) I was contacted by a gentleman in Connecticut who is very anxious to find a home for his Chickering "cocked hat" grand piano, as he is downsizing soon. The instrument is reportedly in good playing condition, and along with the photos included here there are photos of a report about the restoration work that was done to it. If you have any interest in this piano, or know someone else who might, you can be in touch with the owner directly, whose name is Michael Elkin and can be reached at
michaeljelkin@hotmail.com or by phone at 203-464-4685. Mr. Elkin was of course keen to see the instrument go an institutional home, but would certainly consider an individual as well. As far as I know, he's willing to donate it.
