Suzuki digital pianos, need work (94022)
Gifted
The Los Altos High School music department is giving away 8 Suzuki HP-85 digital pianos that need work. I believe that these are all repairs that are common to electro-mechanical instruments: A: Sticking F#, pedal cable is missing D: One of the keys stuck F: Low G lost sensitivity I: Low E is overly sensitive; F above middle C rattles, broken pedal K: Low C# doesn't work, pedal connection flaky O: Low Eb lost sensitivity R: High F# lost sensitivity U: One of the keys stuck, pedal doesn't work "Lost sensitivity" means that the key works but the note sounds loud even when you press the key lightly. The pedal mechanism is nicely built, but has a proprietary cable that is soldered to the circuit board of the pedal. If you'd like any of these instruments, let me know and we'll make the arrangements.

3/4 size violin (94040)
Gifted
3/4 size violin that was donated to a school that I work with. I don't know the brand, but there's a label inside that says "Made in Hungary." The violin needs a new G string. The back has a crack down the middle (see photo). I don't think that the crack affects the tone or structural integrity. Hopefully someone can use it as a practice instrument. I don't have a case or bow for this instrument.
