Free Old Piano

[ziuu]

Hello,

A friend of mine offered me a piano which has been in house since he bought it (10-15years) not played...came with the house...hes tryin to get rid of it....problem is I dont know if its playable...I jus need a crappy piano to practice on because im just learning (beginnner)...the keys itself seems to be in excellent condition and the case seems to be okay condition...lots of minor scratches all over it...I dont know much about pianos so it wouldnt help even if I looked inside to see if there were any damage or broken strings,etc....

Any suggestions on how I could find out if it would be worth fixing..tune/regulate/voice....whatever is necessary?

Ill post make model and year as soon as I get it....

plz any advice would be appreciated...

Thank You

Your best bet would probably be to have a technician look at it and, if it needs any repair, have him do it.

yeah thanks for the advice...I was thinking I should just pay 50$ assessment fee and find out if its worth fixing or not

That's a very good suggestion.

Usually old piano's all need repair. As long as the Cast is not cracked any piano can be fixed.

In Montreal, it usually cost under 150 $ for a regular tune up and small adjustments, but
I have seen piano's that needed up to 750$ Canadian to do the upkeep.

Either way, it's usually a very good investmement.
