well, it just may be a nice piece of antique furniture, but I suspect those kind of people who notice that may not view the piano as anything else. It may have some ignored maintenance problems on the inside, but I am sure they keep it polished and dust-free on the outside! He11, they probably put heavy vases and picture frames on it too.
