How to get rid of an unwanted piano?

[whattheseithakasmean]

Any ideas - DD1 no longer plays piano & we could use the space in her room. It is an old fashioned upright & in decent working order (if probably out of tune). I've tried Gumtree, but the only person interested never showed up. Also no luck on Freecycle. Anyone had a similar problem & what did you do ( we are just outside Perth)? Thanks.

If you were closer, I'd take it off you (I'm in Glasgow)

You could approach some local piano tuners or teachers - they would know if anyone is looking for a piano.
Local schools / churches might also be interested.

Ebay.

Just keep putting it up for free, buyer collects. That's how I got rid of our one

Also, put the word out at schools - someone might be thinking a piano is way beyond their means and they could never get one, but would take your one if they could

Try Freegle - ilovefreegle.org It's similar to Freecycle, but UK based. There are lots of groups in Scotland

Few suggestions here.

It is now on ebay & I am off to explore freegle. Thanks for the ideas, please keep them coming.

Offer delivery. I used to work at a music school and everyone 'kindly' offered us their old pianos - as long as we could collect them. PITA. If you can deliver it you will find a home for it.

Local facebook selling sites. i've seen pianos go on ours.

I don't want to offer delivery, I am hoping to locate someone who wants a piano to the extent they are prepared to come and get it, like I did when we first got it. It has provided sterling service, but with DD1 going to Uni, there must be another family who are looking for a free piano, it is how to find them.

Ring your local nurseries and ask if they want it

I have one in my nursery that was donated and the children love it

What about facebay Dundee or the Perth equivalent?

In England the British Heart Foundation have some furniture stores and they will collect. That's where we got our piano from.

I have pm you.

Thank you for your helpful suggestions, piano has now found a home via a local Facebook site. Happy new owner and happy DD1 having space in her room. Good result all round.
