Would you FreeCycle a Piano?

**freedeal** · 04-25-2006, 11:02 AM

We have an extra piano that no one plays. I would like to give someone else the opportunity to have a piano. The only problem is that I am so afraid that whoever moves it will drop it or whatever and I have Italian marble that they would have to move it over. We have always had professional piano movers move our pianos and I am worried that whoever wants it will not be able to move it correctly.

But I also want it out of here. It is just clutter as this particular piano has not been played in nearly 4 years.

Freecycle w/the stipulation that they get piano movers. It's such a small cost compared w/the fact they are getting a free piano.

That would be my suggestion too...schools & churches, even if they don't need it for themselves, might know of someone in need of a piano. They may also have the resources to move it without damaging your floors as well.

Someone did that here and the person who picked up was more than happy to get piano movers to do it.

I don't know where you're at; but I'd love for someone to give me a piano! My dh got me a keyboard for Christmas and I actually have been taking lessons (at 45 years old!) Always wanted to as a kid, but my parents didn't see the necessity of it . . . too frugal!

I'm in SC. Are you near the border?

I think that someone who really wanted one and would appreciate it would find a way to move it with respect to you and your floors. What a great thing you would be doing for someone! That is very nice of you.
