A baby grand piano advertised on Trade Me sold for $6000 this week. The seller listed it as “from Christchurch Cathedral”.
The listing said the seller, called Bridgewater, bought the mahogany piano at a charity auction in 1995.
“This piano was originally the only piano in the Christchurch Cathedral up until then,” the listing said.
However, Anglican musician Lennox Willett and Christ Church Cathedral secretary Chris Oldham do not remember it.
Catholic cathedral music director Don Whelan said the piano pictured on Trade Me “certainly was not” in the cathedral, where he has worked for more than 40 years.
