A call went out in our weekly bulletin for a Piano that could be
wheeled out onto Victoria Avenue, Wanganui's Main Street, & played by
passersby.
The wife of one of our Rotarians donated her grandmother's 1904
walnut, upright piano.
Local businesses donated their time & services - Dave Hoskin
Carriers, Elite Engineering, Morrie Gibbons Signwriters, & Stafford King -
piano tuner - to ready the piano for its new life.
The piano has been handed over to MainStreet Wanganui who will house
the piano, & also decide when & where it will feature at any given
time.
It's first adventure was in a recent "Busk Off" where a
team of Rotarians & friends played the piano for 4 hours recently on a
Saturday.
Pictured below is Sue Gardner, President of the Rotary Club of
Wanganui North playing the Main Street Piano.
