(i can leave this suggestion a year later because i happen to know very well that that piano still sits in your basement.) i also agree with cellfish - you should get a different, working piano - then call me. i’m all for taking the piano apart and using the materials for other projects. absolutely the best idea.

Definitely reuse the wood in your reno. Both the front panel and top would make interesting tables. I once saw, in a garden, a broken soundboard that had been stood upright (set in concrete) with some rubber weights hung from fishing line in front of it - it made the most amazing windchime.

That's upsetting. I think that if you were planning to fix it and keep it, you should just build it into your basement remodel and have the whole ledgand of the piano thing. I think that's a great idea. I realize that I am SO late in posting my thoughts on this. But I just wanted to let you know what I thought. I stumbled upon your blog randomly, and your story is quite interesting. Whatever happened to the piano? It has been a few months now. I am very curious. Good luck with the rest of the remodel!

It does need some work but the finish is still in good unrestored condition. I just love having the original piano of the family that built this house. Just my thoughts. Good luck on your choices.

The wood would look great as a book shelf or coffee table or whatever you make of it. The insides will be useless unless you have an idea for a bunch of strings???? Love ya!
