Dear Student/Faculty/Staff,
One of our staff at pugetsound, Katie Brown is downsizing and looking to give away her late dad’s piano to a loving home. The Piano is a 2014 Yamaha Baby Grand used like new. You can write to her to indicate your interest on her private email, katiebrown9014[@]outlook[.]com to arrange inspection and delivery or pickup with a moving company.
NB: Please write Katie Brown with your personal email for a swift response.
Regards
Victor Martin
