Kimball console piano with bench (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)
very good condition tuned slightly low ##### please make sure that nobody will give you a piano before you say you want this one. ##### if you want to get the piano for free and move it with your van and can find somebody to help it's yours if you can confirm this within a day. we can also find somebody to help at certain times. ##### someone said he really wanted this piano and had a van it would fit into and had experience moving pianos and would call at 10:00 this morning. he did that and told us his father just offered him a piano so he didn't want ours. ##### someone else told us he wanted the piano and then told us he already had a piano so I assume he got one from his father after telling his father we would give him one.

all wood rolling pin (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)
Gifted
the rolling pin looks like it is made of oak. there are some very small holes in it. I read online about pinholes. "These are tiny bubbles in the finish that turn into pinprick-size holes when you sand the surface level. You can tell the problem is pinholes and not bubbling caused by dust nibs or too much air pressure when spraying if all the bubbles are located just over pores. Pinholes occur most often in larger pored woods such as oak and mahogany."
