Not strictly DIY, but not strictly anything else either.

There is an old upright piano (age and condition not determinable by the
unmusical me, although its certainly not in tune and hasn't been tuned in my
care) in my sitting room. It is not mine. It was just left by its owner. I
did contact the owner about it but never got a reply. That was five years
ago.

Its in the way. Suggestions as to what I can/ might do about it ( polite and
practical ones please).


My Grandma, who died some 40+ years ago, left an upright piano, which I
dismantled. I remember having a hell of a job getting rid of the iron
frame, but I did recover hundreds of wood screws about No 8 x 1" with a
semi-round (sort of mushroom) head. I still have a few of them
somewhere! I think there were about 3 per note, plus quite a few others.

I once had ideas of using the keys as the basis for a nelectronic organ,
but I still haven't got a round tuit (nor do I know where the keys
went!).
