Save the Yellow Piano from the scrap heap

This is a message from  the Werner Café Piano, the bright yellow instrument that was in the Park at Town Center throughout August:

Hello Shoreline agencies,

I am the bright yellow piano with paintings of café scenes and flowers that sat in the Park at Town Center across from Shoreline City Hall during August 2012 and I’m looking for a new home. Lots of people enjoyed playing me, although some were concerned about the sag and drag of my lower register, and I brought smiles to many faces.

The City has decided that I am not suitable musically for another outdoor August Piano Time event in 2013 so has de-accessioned me. That means that I can find another home in a Shoreline non-profit or other governmental agency where people might like to play me as I am.

I am currently sitting on the upper level of the City Hall Parking Garage, mostly covered in plastic while awaiting my fate. If you are accepted as my new owner you would need to pick me up and move me to your location. The City can arrange this through Prosser Piano for $75 at your expense or you can pick me up with volunteers and a truck with a lift.

If no one wants me by November 5th I will be discarded as scrap.

Please respond to Ros Bird, Public Art Coordinator at the City of Shoreline, if you are interested in having a cute, but tired piano at your facility. We could make beautiful music together!

Thanks,

The Werner Café Piano
