Scarborough Borough Council Did Sell Futurist Piano – Yorkshire Coast Radio

Scarborough Borough Council has confirmed that it did sell a piano that was taken from the Futurist Theatre.

Nick Edwards is the Borough Council Director, he said:

The Steinway & Sons piano that was used in the Futurist theatre was sold last weekend at local auction for a gross sale of 12,600. The net proceeds will be used to support the councils capital programme.
