such a waste. that piano is still worth repairing. quite frankly it just needed new key tops, felts and some alignments. it would have just cost you $200 to make it sound right again give it $600 and that piano would look brand new

@TuneMasterspiano oh okay. thank you. You might find it hard to believe, but here's a free piano almost every day on craigslist in my area, so I'm sort of spoiled. Additionally, there was no place to store it indoors. That house behind it is going to be demolished thanks to big government

@MovingUpp wow! free pianos?!?!? i wish i could ship some of those pianos here.

You're running a chop shop!

I feel like I just watched a snuff film.

Seriously, did you torture animals when you were little?

Great piano and it will help me taking apart my own. I got my project on a 1908 Harvard Cincinnati Upright. Strip away the ugly faded mahogany to an ebony black. I got it for free and paid $30 for materials while I did some repairs myself. I will then sell it for three hundred.
