Repaired and refurbished pianos, delivered locally, are more apt to find a new home. Many piano stores sell used pianos, tuned by their technicians (see Piano Technicians Guild), through consignment, and have partner piano moving companies to direct you to. Piano donations, including the moving and tuning fee, may be welcomed by senior centers, community centers, clubs (ex. Boys & Girls, Rotary, Lions), high schools & colleges, and piano players/students. Share an image, condition, size, brand, age, details, and current use with your local and social networks (ex. Facebook Buy Nothing in your city group, local PTAs, piano stores & teachers, NextDoor, etc.).
