Ralph W. and Emma VanGennip of St. Charles have donated a 1905-1910 T. Bahnsen Piano Manufacturing Co. piano to Scott Joplin House State Historic Site. The piano company also published music including Joplin's Bethe, Sarah Dearand Binks Waltzso the piano has a connection to the Scott Joplin House. A special thanks goes to "Perfessor" Bill Edwards and Dr. Dave Majchrzak who helped connect the house and the donor and to the Friends of Scott Joplin who donated the funds to move the piano.
