Trading down - sort of

[capella]

I have a very nice Kimball Artistic Console - 1964.  Tuned recently.  Pristine condition.   The rub - the only place I have to put it is the the bird room.  Literally six large parrots, three are cockatoos.  I fear dust is going to do damange to the insides, which I can't get to.  Or make it unholy expensive to get cleaned, on the inside.  I've only had it about a month and paid so little for it, I know it would sell.  But do I want to?

Would I kill myself later if I sold the real piano and bought a nice digital home style?

Better sell the parrots

Better sell the parrots 

Trust me, it's tempting sometimes:) - but they are pretty much family now.

Is there a sofa or other large piece of furniture you can part with?

Not really.  Our house is a 1400 square foot bi-level and about 200 or so square foot of that exists because the folks before us converted the single car garge into beautiful living space.  That is where the parrots and piano are now.

I've pondered and think I'm going to take of the parts I can and just see how bad the dust is or is not.  Then vacuum it out if I can and wipe things down with a slightly damp rag if the cockatoo dust is gathering in there.
