I know old upright pianos have no value and people are desperate to get rid of them, but still, it was sad to see this one dumped in a parking lot recently:
It was broken into pieces, probably from the fall when it was pushed out of the back of a truck.
I'm sure it was impossible to keep in tune, but think of the life it had. How many families took pride in it? Or what kind of businesses did it provide music in?
And who was it who painted it salmon pink?

It's sad to see instruments wrecked and abandoned, or sitting in a Habitat store where no one is likely to buy them. We have a 1908 Beckwith (the Sears-Roebuck piano) that had been donated to the college TV station. But no one wanted it. So it became ours, for the cost of the movers. It's greatly improved our quality of life.
