Meet Pearl

I’m so happy to introduce the newest member of our family, Pearl. She really is a delight. She brings JOY to all. She’s a lovely little thing too. I love how simple her design is. ‘Liza loves her. Tru loves her. Even Max loves her (oh wait – I think that’s Stevie Wonder sportin’ the glasses). Hannah has already been teaching Abe. I think we’ve heard Fur Elise and Ode to Joy 100 times from Miss Hannah.

Pearl was able to attend her first family home evening, and though Tru was in tears because he couldn’t play the opening song, all worked out in the end.This is how it all came down. Jimmy mentioned that it might work out to get a piano this summer. Happy dance from Heather. So I searched KSL… missed a few good ones. We searched a few piano stores. All the perfectly beautiful ones seemed out of our price range. But we came across Pearl, from China. Pearl was built by Pearl River… the Chinese company trained by the Yamaha folks… so one tuner said all the parts were similar to the Yamaha. It will work splendidly for our young family. Thanks to some angel helpers and a little negotiating, we were able to get the piano. Anyhoo… blessings all around.

I’m not sure I’ll ever get a turn to play alone. I either have Tru by my side playing along or ‘Liza in my lap pouding on the keys. It is JOY.
