Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

After I had the piano tuned, I opened the lid and touched the keys. It sounded even richer than I remembered. Really, it was a very good piano.

What is the author’s purpose in using sensory detail to describe the piano?

to reveal that the piano was more expensive than the narrator had believed
to show that the piano was louder than the narrator remembered
to reveal that the narrator is happy to play piano after so many years
to show that the narrator understands the value of the piano now that she is older
