Here's a strange one.

I have to admit that Thomas piqued my interest so I got Cyril to reply.

Thomas

I'm interested in your piano. Where are you situated?

Nothing for a day and a half, then this:

Hello,

Sorry for the late response, I was busy trying to get settled in my new apartment. It's a beautiful Yamaha Upright Piano used to be owned and played by my late wife who is now deceased, and it was last tuned in May last year. The Piano is currently with the movers who assisted me in moving my stuff to my new apartment.

Size: H./T./B.: 121/62/153 cm

Attached to this email are pictures of the piano before it was packed.

Regards,

Thomas Watson

Attached were two photographs of a black upright Yamaha Transacoustic piano (not cheap). I'm fairly sure it's a scam which will require Cyril having to deal with the delivery company to arrange and pay for delivery. Perhaps we'll find out if Thomas replies to this mornings email from Cyril.

Sorry to hear about your wife's passing. My late wife Mary played the ukulele and I still remember what joy her rendition of "When I'm cleaning windows" used to bring me. Hopefully you have similar endearing memories of your late wife's musical renditions. As for the piano, I think it looks absolutely smashing. I don't play myself, but the piano at the church I attend has seen better days and I was thinking that your email turning up in my inbox may have been a sign from the Almighty that I should do something about the situation. How do I go about getting my hands on your instrument?
