Playing piano (even bad playing) has helped me keep my sanity. I was in bed in my nightgown and had to be at the piano in 25 minutes!!! Taking migraine medicine and pain killers! The Lord got me through it! But there are times that I can 'turn loose' and really enjoy it. This past Sunday, my husband came back home to pick me up and get me to church.

The man I bought the piano from was offered $1000 from a dealer - that was in 1974.Īs you read, I don't play for the church by choice or because I am any good - they just don't have anyone else!!! (And it's a volunteer job!) and as you can tell, I don't have any confidence in myself! ha! Sometimes its is the hardest thing I have to do to play every Sunday and Wed night. Ever since I found this message board a few days ago (along with a few other sites) I have learned so much about pianos and musicians! and how far I fall short - but it has given me some enthusiasm! got me to practicing! AND got me dreaming of a really nice piano! LOL But I am thankful for what I have and I would have to really do a lot better to justify a good quality piano. Any info would be helpful I just thought I should give our choir director an idea of what he was getting, for me it's a family piano with setimental value so it wouldn't matter to me if it was cheap, but considering our church has MANY pianos I would like to know if this really is the best for voice lessons, or if perhaps he should choose one of the other pianos.Thanks for your comments Penny and Jolly. Description: 1953 LESTER PIANO vintage print advertisement Betsy Ross Spinet- The Lester Piano is the Official Piano of The Philadelphia Orchestra. I've read things that say the pianos are of amazing quality and some that say they are really cheap, some of them being made with plastic parts (such as elbows) that wore out easily, this one doesn't have plastic parts, but perhaps that means they've been replaced or it was made after Lester recalled the pianos with the bad parts. I would simply like to know a little more information about the piano if anyone knows anything, or can help me find some resources. i am asking because my family is letting me keep this paino as they are moving across the country and myself being the only one who continues an interest in music (my father took piano for 8 years, but he probably won't admit to it, and my mom at one point played a few intruments, all of which I am now keeping because she hasn't touched them in years) however I'll also be going away to college so we didn't want to move the piano cross-country, and I don't have a place to keep it, therefore our church choir director is keeping it in his office to teach voice lessons, until I find a place for it when I'm finished with school. I have a Lester Betsy Ross Spinet, its a company out of Philly, most of these were made from 1948-1960, I think this one was made in 1959 but I'm not entirely sure, because I'm fairly certain the piano isn't incredibly special or of real high quality so it's pretty hard to find too much info about it.
