Leonard and his wife kept it for many years until they downsized their home and sold it to a private collector in Texas in 1987.

Steinway AR Duo-Art in Italian Renaissance art case style 3002, serial number 268,903. This piano was originally connected to a two manual, 20 rank Aeolian pipe organ installed in the Katherine M. O’Connor home in Denver. The piano serial number implies a 1929 manufacturing date, with the organ shipped from the factory in March, 1930. Thanks to the dry Colorado climate, the outstanding finish on this piano is still original. We restored the reproducing action for Larry Kerecman, its current owner, in 1996.
