If only pianos could talk Jeni, the tales they could tell. You had a case of best-laid plans gone only slightly amiss here. Your piano move could have been much worse, but in the end, everyone was satisfied with the day. A friend was upgrading to a Grand and offered us her upright. We were living in a four-story house up the steepest driveway you could build in the city. The piano movers were professionals, but they surveyed the driveway with dread.
I went out to the garden like you did until I heard a victory whoop. They told me quite a few people gave away their pianos to anyone who wanted them since they were so challenging to move. When we downsized, we advertised ours for free if they paid for pickup and delivery.
Parents of a thriving student were delighted, sent movers over, and all went well, as in your case. What a great story, your lovely piano from Jessica is carrying on from her hands to yours.
What a wonderful recounting of what must have seemed somewhat traumatic at the time. Enjoy your new piano!
Enjoy your new wonderful friend, as it exudes all the love that it shared with Jessica for so many years.
