A vintage musical instrument has been snapped up after its owner decided to give it away.

The piano accordion was found in a house clearance and given to former Mayor of Swale, Peter Morgan, with the intention that he donated it to Sittingbourne Museum.

But as it couldn’t be authenticated as being specific to the town, it remained at his Park Road home. That was until he contacted the Messenger to announce he was giving it away.

He had a number of inquiries, but the lucky recipient was Frank Holmes, 76, of Home View, Murston. Frank plans to restore the instrument before learning how to play it.

He said: “Once I’ve mastered it, I’m going to take it to old people’s homes and schools to entertain people.”
