thumb piano for sale (commercial post) - sold

Jack · Post by **Jack** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 9:58 am

I have this little thumb piano for sale. It's in tune and it's fun to play around with. (The fork is for size-reference only, unless you REALLY want it, I guess.)

It comes with a little foldout telling how to play it and it was hand-made in central Kentucky.

I'll take $20 for it, including shipping to the lower 48 states. I prefer PayPal. PM me if you're interested.

(P.S. To the moderators, I haven't done a commercial post in ages, if I've violated something please let me know or just delete this post.)

Cran, I can't tell from the photo where you insert the data disk to imput the tunes. By the way, these little thumb harps (kalimbas) can be easily tuned by tapping on the metal reeds to lengthen or shorten them.

I'll take it, by the way, if it's still for sale.

P.S. I don't want the fork.

Okie dokie. My PayPal is packh@berea.edu

I don't know if I have your address still, so could you PM or email it to me?

I'm also going to put a Sweetone and an Indian cane whistle in with it, because I never play those anymore.

Is the fork still available? What key is it in?

If you really want it, I'll mail it to you for free, for posterity's sake.

There's nothing like a good fork up the posterior, eh?

Summer is nigh and that means my 13 kids will soon be taking many of their meals outdoors. Somehow the silverware never makes it back into the house. I figure it will take me about 817 forks to get through the summer. I'm always looking for good sources.

Metal detector worth every penny even for SS flatware.

Hmmm, not a bad idea. I think I'll wait a few years before mining the back yard though. I reckon I could finance my retirement just in the scrap value of the steel by then.

Hey, that looks like the thumb piano I used to have! Fun stuff, though I never got past "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in the tunes department.

I can so totally relate to what you just said here Doc!

I'm thinking I should buy stock in Oneida or something

Reckon if ya had two a them forks you could bend 'em, tape 'em together and play 'em.

I'd think they'd be a little bit mellow and softer sounding as opposed to spoons. Great for them slower bluegrass passages. No wait.....
