Just a warning to other music schools who may have received unsolicited emails from someone such as Hannah Anderson offering a free Yamaha baby grand piano after the passing of her late husband. It is a SCAM! They will take you for a ride, until they ask you to pay for the delivery charge through an online payment page – that’s when we also realised it was a scam! We hope this post helps anyone else who has suspicions and does a google or facebook search. https://familypiano.com/blog/free-piano-scam
