Whatever you do, please don't just break it up unless there is no
other way. Many kids might love having a piano, but it never occurred
to their parents to get them one. Even if you only get a nominal fee
(or nowt) for it, you might have the satisfaction in your dotage of
seeing the Leeds Piano Competition winner on TV whose tentative first
forays on the keyboard were done on your old piano!

I LOVE pianos!

I was the original poster of this query - and mine was a genuine question.

Thanks to all who gave answers.

I have decided to put an ad in the free ads in the local weekly paper and
offer it as free to a good home, buyer collects.
If no takers , I'll have to see about getting it taken away and paying for
it.

Thanks for all your help.

Yet another suggestion if you find no takers is to consider offering
parts of it to the local tech college. My brother used a piano
keyboard to build a synthesizer as a project at his college. He only
used the keyboard, nothing else. He added loads of electrical
contacts, wires and stuff and put an inordinate amount of effort into
it.
