Just picked up a piano I bought for £50 off of ebay last week.

The guy told me it didn't have instructions for reassembly I thought this would be okay as the Internet has instructions for pretty much everything nowadays.

The good news is it fitted in the back of the five.

The bad news is that the kit looks a bit more complicated than I had anticipated.

Does anyone have experience of assembling these things or even better the instructions. It's a Cramer.

Also the guy told me that when it's reassembled all the rough edges will be on the inside. I hope that's right because there seems to be a lot of rough edges.


Thanks in advance for any help. It's urgent because my Daughter has her level 3 test on Friday.

Here's a picture in case it helps...

I too mine to the tip like that and the jobsworth tried to imply that I was a piano removals man and needed to pay. After I pointed out that piano removal companies don't smash up pianos and put them in the back of Toyota yaris they let me in .

Bit of wood glue and it'll be up and running in no time...

Nevermind, I suppose not everyone has a sense of humour.

Sorry my error didn't see the pic when I moved it, I'll move back as that is one st piano and it does not deserve to be in the music forum. hehe

Take the big bits and stick together to form a box. The black and white bits go on top but underneath a liddy thing.

That should do you tongue out

Only if the car was designed by Pianofarina.

I did ask and apparently it's already been re-mapped.

...Ummm... dont jump on me for asking a stupid question, but was that actually EVER a piano and not just an expensive pile of scrap wardrobes with a bit of wire chucked in for good measure!?

The key thing is that you've basically forked out for a pile of kindling and are down to the tune of £50. On a scale of one to ten, this is a grand mistake.

Obviously, internet bidding is not your forte.
