Re: piano
It was probably a gift and you own it. However if there was a condition attached to the gift, such as your child must take lessons, etc, the gift would fail. Depends on the facts...
Re: piano
Appears to be a gift and you own it. Was the neighbor invited to rehearsals? If so, then your neighbor should go away. But if the neighbor persists, and its worth fighting, get yourself a lawyer to write your neighbor a letter. Good luck.
