A grand piano from Scarborough's Futurist Theatre is going to auction tomorrow (Saturday 20 May.) <\/p>\n

It is estimated to be worth around 5,000-7,000 and is being auctioned through David Duggleby's Auctioneers. On Duggleby's website, it is described as: <\/p>\n

\"Steinway & Sons concert grand piano, circa 1900, iron framed over strung movement in ebonised case, No. 96292, on gadroon carved turned and fluted supports (W152cm, H100cm, L275cm), with early 20th century ebonised stool, with adjustable leather upholstered stool - PROVENANCE - Futurist Theatre, Scarborough.\" <\/p>\n

It's not know who is selling the piano as the details are classified. <\/p>\n

However, this has been met with discontent from the group trying to save the Futurist. At the moment, the group are trying to raise funds in order to take legal action against Scarborough Borough Council following the decision to demolish the building, which was taken in January. <\/p>\n

Next month, they'll meet with a lawyer to decide if a judicial review can go ahead. They need to raise 10,000 in order to fund the legal services and have so far raised just under 2,000. <\/p>\n

Debi Silver is from the Save the Futurist Campaign Group, she said: <\/p>\n

\"Whilst we are struggling as representing people of Scarborough and everywhere else to get money, the council can quite freely take stuff out of the theatre and sell it. <\/p>\n

I would like to think that it hasn't been taken out of the Futurist Theatre by Scarborough Borough Council and put into Duggleby's. <\/p>\n

That may well be the case, who knows? But it's rather strange that this piano is in for sale and it says 'PROVENANCE-Futurist Theatre.'\" <\/p>\n
