By the way Greg, the hearing aids help with the tinnitus.

Yeah, When I'm in states where I hafta wear a helmet, I usually take them out. the helmet seems to mash down between my sunglasses and the hearing aids and become uncomfortable.
But...Having had both types of hearing aids, The ones I have now are definitely better.
Normally when I'm on the bike I just shut them down anyway.... They make good earplugs!!

Hope they buy it, offered for it to them for $750.00.
Russ, went through that a few years ago with a piano, not a Grand style. American made, solid cherry wood like new was $6000 in the 80's. Finally got rid of it for $500...got sick of looking at something that wasn't used in 20 years. Thing was like a piece of fine furniture . Friend of ours,a piano teacher, had a nice family he taught that couldn't afford much more than that for their daughter...went to a good place.

That's what I'm hoping for Al, the family that looked at it had a piano with a cracked sound board which to repair would cost 3K. I figure at $750 bucks, this one would be a steal.
