About 10 years ago on Christmas morning, my wife was out for her morning jog and came across a full sized Yamaha keyboard stuffed in a trash bin placed at the curb... looking to be in excellent condition. Presumably the homeowners purchased a new piano or upgraded keyboard and simply threw this one away. She called me and I drove down in a BMW (LOL!) and we barely were able to stuff it in the trunk. 5 minutes later, and after digging out a 12v wall-wart from the closet, I was pleasantly surprised that it powered up and worked perfectly My young son ended up loving it, and taking up piano as a hobby, and now regularly competes in ragtime (of all genres!) piano competitions. If that had never happened I'm not sure he would have ever taken up music like he did. Crazy.
