Saw a new optometrist today for a second opinion about the extensive treatment for glaucoma, dry eyes and inflammation my regular doctor has had me on. Been seeing the old doctor for 37 years. After seeing today's doctor, I am inclined to switch doctors. I'll see how I feel about his after the next visit.
A guy came to look at my piano which nobody plays and is just taking up space. He runs a donation service that puts pianos in the hands of people who cannot afford to buy one. My piano is a spinet which nobody wants these days. This fellow didn't want it either. He says one of the foot peddles sticks and it's not worth fixing. So now it's back in the living room. Who'd of thought a piano was so difficult to give away?
Pianos that need fixing are definitely hard to unload. They just aren't worth fixing unless they are really expensive ones.
They're heavy, awkward and difficult to move. Require specialized movers to prevent damage.
Had a really old, out of tune upright in a relatives home who died. It needed a major overhaul to become playable.
Weighed a ton. Ended up breaking it up into pieces to get it out of the house and into a dumpster.
Check Craiglist for pianos. There's always a bunch being given away for free just to get rid of them.
You may have to junk it. Sad but what can you do. Nowadays electronic keyboards are excellent, portable and take up little space.
If it doesn't work and you don't play just bite the bullet and get rid of it. Free up the space.
You might try "Got Junk". They might get rid of it for you for cheap.
Or bust it up yourself.
