Festival chief ‘numb’ as grand piano dropped

ORGANISERS of a classical music festival said yesterday they are distraught after a £45,000 grand piano was dropped off the delivery lorry.

Fundraisers for the Two Moors Festival saved for two years to raise the cash needed to buy the Bösendorfer piano, which they say is considered the Rolls-Royce of pianos.

The festival’s artistic director Penny Adie, said she was so excited that the instrument was being delivered that she ran out to take pictures but was left “numb” as she recorded it crashing to the ground.
