I went in an antiques shop in York and counted at least 7 pianos all covered in dust and other goods piled upon them. I think it is really sad that pianos are thrown away because of their impracticality. I wonder if they will one day become rare and valuable, because there are so few. There are so many children who would love a piano but the sheer size and weight of them just make it impossible for many families. I love my old upright piano, even though it is a pain to keep in tune. I am so lucky to have a very understanding family and some strong-armed people who helped move it from my Maybe someone with a very big house could start a piano sanctuary? :-(
