Ask the moving company. Someone there will snag it. If you want it wrecked call my mover or GE's mover they will turn it into splinters for you! Good luck.....hurry up though we need more pictures. Concentrate on the piano it will make you forget all the other stuff you're facing. It will be done before you know it.

I'm still in trouble with my kids for giving our 1929 baby grand away in the mid '90s. Man can they hold a grudge.

My baby grand piano is from 1926 and I play it when I can, but there's something about the humidity and dust down here that it seems to need tuning too often.

We posted ours on Craigslist and had many responses. Eventually gave it to a family (via their piano teacher) who had two boys who were training on an old electronic keyboard. Family extremely happy.

Part of the issue with getting a "real used piano" (I just got one) is the COST of moving it - I got 3 quotes and the lowest was $240. They went up from there. So, on top of purchasing it, you have to pay the movers and then you have to pay to get it tuned ($100-150), at least twice (right after the move and then 3-4 months later). So, that adds to the "Nope, I'll just buy an electric keyboard" syndrome!

After pledging a substantial donation to my old Rotary club if a member would remove the piano from my house, a younger member accepted the challenge to my great delight. I was going to make a donation to Rotary in any case as I truly believe Rotary does help people locally and around the world. Again, thanks for all of your suggestions and to alert me to the difficulties of piano purging.
