That piano is now located at Hollywood Candy, a combination candy store-antique mall located at 1209 Jackson St., Omaha, NE 68102.
Seven days ago, I had the chance to play it (it's a 1905 Schilling upright; the serial number is 47120)...and only after I saw a little boy and a little girl (one after the other) give the upright a try.
The pictures you're about to see below were taken yesterday afternoon...and I can't wait to get at that old Schilling again!
Who knows...maybe the staff at Hollywood Candy will allow the Great Plains Ragtime Society to have a meeting or two there each year (as long as the store's still got the piano Lady Gaga played in a cornfield).
By the way...you can reach Hollywood Candy at 402 346-9746.
