ABOUT
THIS CABLE PIANO:
A free piano?!? Yes, you read correctly! Looks pretty, but the insides
are a mess and the cost of restoring it to a playable condition far
exceeds the value of the piano. Anyone can come pick it up (we'll bring
it to ground level), but the unsuspecting bargain hunter won't know
the surprises that await them! Check out our Wanted
Poster page to learn more about these devious devils posing as "pretty
pianos!" Oh, and we're serious about the offer-- this piano IS
free for the taking, but you must promise us never, ever let your kids take
lessons on it! :)

ABOUT
CABLE PIANOS:
The
Cable Piano Company dates back to 1885 and the name continued under various
owners until 1982. One might think that the word Cable had some real significance
in the industry given how many other piano manufacturers included the
word in their brand name through the years: Cable-Nelson, Conover Cable,
Cable & Sons, Hobart M. Cable, Fayette Cable. But there's really no
interesting story to report. Maybe with thousands of piano brand names
throughout the 1800's and 1900's, they were simply running out of words
and needed to start repeating.
