Still reeling from the intense battle of Farthen Dur, the young Rider, Eragon, and his shimmering blue dragon companion, Saphira, must continue their training in magic with the elves in the great city of Ellesmera. The Varden's struggle to end the reign of the villainous King Galbatorix continues as they and their numerous allies prepare to fight the Empire for control of Alagaesia. As an occassional piano player it is not the best or worst sounding piano I have ever played.A sensational avalanche of shifting political alliances, unexpected bombshells, and intense relationships races through this gripping, fast-paced sequel to the phenomenal bestseller ERAGON (which was written when Christopher Paolini was just a teenager). I have had no problems with the piano after a good tuning.
I am aware that Kimball primarily built furniture. The article said they built these commerative piano's with a higher level of quality then previously used. I did some research and read that Kimball used this event to promote better quality associated with Kimball's name. The model # is 5250, serial number t23694 Is anyone familiar with a Kimball's commerative piano like this? I am a little familiar with Kimball piano's and bought it because they do not demand a bigger price as a higher quality name piano. I did not buy or pay extra money for the piano because of this certificate. They indicated the piano may have actually been used in Los Angeles at the opening and closing ceremonies. The seller also had a large photo of the placement of the 20+ piano's in the stadium. It further says the piano was made to commerate Kimball's participation in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics. The seller had a certificate, and there is a plaque inside the piano that says the piano was commissioned by the Los Angeles Olympic Organization committee. I bought a used Kimball Baby Grand in the Chicago area a couple years ago.
