We usually begin with being grateful for surviving lives--our own and loved ones. Then a few things stand out as important to us: intrinsic values and intangible memories that are often captured in pictures and other treasured memorabilia. Some objects can even be carried to shelter, if there is time to do so.
But then there are meaningful parts of our lives like the music we cherish and the instruments which ring with the songs we love. While love for music is priceless and intangible... our precious pianos would not be able to fit in our pockets or arms when preparing for such a disaster like massive storms, tornadoes, and in the case of Florida and neighboring Gulf Coast and Atlantic states... hurricanes.
June 1 is the first day of hurricane season. I know records on your piano won't be and shouldn't be the first part of your preparedness plan. But for as much as your piano might mean to you, this is your PianoLady's gentle nudge to know these things about your piano just in case something terrible should happen to it.
- Brand, Model, Size, & Serial No.
- Color/Finish
- Who last tuned it and might have an appraisal or idea to its value? ...As well as other records on its purchase and service or even restoration history?
- Do you have replacement value insurance on your piano? Or depreciated value?
- Do you have pictures of your piano?
If you need help with any of these records, I am glad to be of service.
We are always on the spot for restoration and cleaning services after such occurrences as water or fire damage, but if your set of keys and strings can't be helped... We can still guide you through the search for the next musical love of your life.
