Reflection 3

The proposal has been written. It's pretty rough, and I plan on showing Mrs. Linnet the proposal and see what she thinks of it. She was the one who offered the idea of getting the piano repaired. She mentioned it a few times last year, but I didn't take the opportunity. A bit of a shame, but i'm glad I caught on to the idea now. She is somewhat of a guide for me, offering suggestions on what I should do in order to ensure that the project can be done efficiently. During last week, I've been taking a look at different types of pianos, from up-right to grand pianos. One of the most interesting was an Otto Altenburg grand piano that my local high school uses for Chorus. A sleek black piano with a strong, melodic sound. I played, listened carefully, and inspected the insides. Several steps above the condition of the baby grand in Magnet. The strings were in good condition, tuned well and in good care. When I looked at the Otto, I felt that the project had more potential. I now look at it as though that, besides the pedals, the piano wasn't necessarily broken. It was actually mostly intact. Through-out this project, I felt really uneasy. I was focused on the price and the time. Would it be too much? Would I be able to finish it? Is it really worthwhile? Am I too worried about an old baby grand piano that has been sitting in a school lobby for god knows how long? I do see a light in this, and I plan to hand in my proposal this week. In the mean time, Alex out.
