The wide variations in manufacturing techniques and overall designs mean there will be discrepancies. Some guidelines I will discuss here may be applicable to spinnets or console pianos, but keep in mind that not every piano is going to be the same. The aforementioned models I either don’t currently have in my shop, or are currently undergoing restoration in varying stages, so much so that I’m unable to reassemble them to disassemble them. Not grands, baby grands, upright spinnet or smaller console pianos.

In this article, I will be focusing on full upright pianos.

Whatever the reason may be, if you feel the need to open your piano, even just for a peek, here’s your comprehensive guide on how to do so SAFELY. If your child spills a drink over your keyboard, you can get in there and do damage control before a cluster of six keys decides to stick together. If that rare coin from your collection (that for some reason you are studying at the piano) falls in between two keys–you can go get it. That piano never played in tune.There are a number of things the common person with knowledge of how to use a screwdriver can do to their piano. It broke a little bit of trim off the bottom of the piano and they thought they were good until they got it set in the house and found out that the beam was broken. However when unloading it the guy who had the last handhold coming off of the truck lost it and that end of the piano fell and hit the concrete. They got the piano out of the house and down a set of stairs and into the truck without incident. Eventually he got a trio of guys to go over on a day I was not available. We turned around and he ended up calling a few other guys who were all busy when he mentioned that he needed to move a piano. Him: "yeah, I will try to get some other guys to help." Me: "yep, so I am turning around and you can run down a few more guys to help." Him: "wow, really? I did not think they weighed that much."

Me: "probably about a thousand pounds, at least." Me: "unless you have another pair of guys meeting us there I am turning around." Him: "what do you not feel strong today?" he laughed at that notion. Me: "you have got to be kidding me, just you and me to move a Piano?" The conversation from there went like this: I looked over at him and made sure I heard him right. On the way to the site I asked what we were picking up. Sure I told him and went and picked him up. I had a friend call me and asked if I could help him move something with me truck. I do not even approach asking about selling, giving, away, or donating it (isn't that the same thing?) since it's like the Taylor 314CE that sits in the living room, that she doesn't play, it's off limits to talk about. I had it tuned a while back which set me back another $100. She played it for about a year or two, then it has sat there with pics of the grandkids decorating it for the last eleven years or so. I even learned to chop out a few tunes on that piano, but hardly remember them now.Ībout thirteen years ago, I shelled out about $2300 for a nice used Yamaha Console from a reputable piano store. My wife didn't have a piano for a couple of years after we sold out, but when we decided to stay in Bakersfield, I promised I'd buy her another piano. When we sold out, we finally sold the piano. Then we bought a home and had the piano moved to the new place, where it was for ten years. We had a Baldwin Console Piano for many years in a home we were at when the kids were in late grammar, and high school, even college. I hope they get some money out of it, but it's going to be hard to move that thing in this area for much money at all. In college a friend of mine bought a piano for $2.50 at an estate sale and when he graduated and moved out they only thing he could find to do with it was give it to a scrap dealer for $7. So they've tasked my wife with posting it on a local buy/sell/trade site hoping to get something for it. So now fast forward, they want to get rid of the piano, so they call the guy, he isn't buying pianos right now. It's her mom and her mom's siblings going through the estate. As that piano is worth about $7 to anyone that isn't that guy. I found out later and told my wife they should have taken that in an instant. They declined because they thought they could get more for it. A couple years ago they got it tuned/appraised and the guy they hired offered them $1000 on the spot for it. My wife's family has a piano that belonged to her grandma.
