Our piano is dying.
Our piano is 90 years old, so that makes sense, but we're trying to decide what to do. Replace almost the entire piano for quite a lot of money, or say goodbye to our piano.
Right now there's a fine gentleman here talking to Husbandman about our piano. It's sounding kind of bleak.
Here's something I learned today as I've been eavesdropping on the piano conversation. The sound of a piano depreciates. With a cello or violin, the sound appreciates, or improves over time, but with a piano, that's not how it works. The sound gets worse as time goes on.
The depreciation situation has nothing to do with our eventual decision. I just thought it was an interesting fact.

I had no idea. I figured they aged well like violins.
"Fine gentleman" is smart! I learned something too.
Hmmm! I'm thinking that in a pleasant, curious tone!
