    Hello, I trust this message finds you well. I am currently seeking a new home for my late husband's Yamaha baby grand piano, and I am hoping to place it in the hands of a passionate individual who will appreciate and care for this exquisite instrument. If you or someone you know is interested in providing a loving and dedicated home for this piano, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Warm regards Email: [email protected]
