My wife has an old upright piano that she learnt to play on when she was a kid. It is cluttering up our house and she wants to get rid of it.
Anyone know if they are worth anything? If so, how much do they normally go for?
I imagine there are desired pianos but this is just a run of the mill instrument.
Give it away to someone that will use it.
Call a dealer - they will tell you straight away if it is worth anything. Depends if overstrung or understrung or something.
Any name on it?
Saw a program on this last week or it might of been a local news item.
You'll never sell it, sorry.
A firm that collects them has to charge so they can pay to dump them.
See quite a few on Freecycle.
I will see if I can find someone who wants one FOC then. I will just be glad to get rid of the bloody thing!
Whereabouts are you?
Bristol
I sold one a few years ago, was in my flat when I bought it. Got £80 I think from memory. Some big lads came up from Newcastle with a trailer.
+1 mudshark - always being given away
You might find its difficult to even give it away - but try ebay before you try anything else. Especially if its it reasonable nick and the keys all work.
But.... how do you measure 'worth' - £50 in your pocket, the warm glow of giving it free to a deserving you Richard Clayderman......... or smashing up a piano. It is sooooooo exciting.
Yup,they take up too much space for most people. A neighbour advertised his for months(free) and we ended up smashing it up so it could get taken to the tip 🙁 . We have one and I can see it going the same way,but for now ,it's still nice to hear it played now and again.
Bit too far from Glasgow.. Oh well.
I might be interested for my stepdaughter. Would it be suitable for a 14 y.o.? Whereabouts in Bristol may I ask?
Would suit a 14 year old. We are in longwell green.
If its not been tuned for years it might not really be usable any more.
Do you have access to an aircraft carrier?
