AT 2 p.m. Monday, Jane Kang found out she
would be the first student in nearly a decade to
play the piano that once belonged to Bryan
Adams.

Kang, a grade 12 student at Sutherland accondary school,
played Everviling [ Doo 1 Do lt For You to an anxious crowd
attending a Night of Music at the school Monday evening.

Adams, a former student of Sutherland, donated his original
piano to the school’s music program in 1986.

The 1926 Estey tell inte disrepair after a few years of play
and way sent off to be fixed.

The piano was all but forgotten when school trustee,
Barbara MacLellan, found out about it and made it her mission
te find it,

“The maa who had been hired to fix it just had ir at
home...he kept putting off necting with me because it was in
pieces,” MacLellan said.

She managed to recover the piano and after campaigning for
support and donations front parents, students, the schoul board
and community members, she hired Mike Story to rebuild it.

Story, who owns Story & Company Pianos on ‘Ferminal
Avenue, said the baby grand was a challenge to rebuild because
they didn't have the luxury of taking it apart themselves.

“Taking a pile of rubbish, putting it back together again and
making it sound good was gratifving, we're pleased,” he said.

Story said the piano, which took approximately $10,000 to
repair, is worth what has been put into it.
