Olde Piano, what willst become of ye?

Olde Piano

I'm homebound this weekend due to obligations,  so I'm waiting for Sawzall Mike to show up after his weekend of cutting arches and excavating crystallized raccoon scat. I can't wait to see what he's done, but meanwhile I'm daydreaming about the old piano. What shall we do with it?

Most keys have "seized up" and aren't playable. It sat under a leaky roof for a horrible eternity, and the far end of it is pretty much a goner.

You aren't supposed to water a piano!

It sure is quaint though. One thought was to dig out the keys and install my Kurzweil keyboard where the old ivories used to be. As for the 300 pound metal harp and strings within, well, wouldn't that look cool just sitting around in a corner. And I could put the amp for the keyboard inside and it would be an old-timey piano with a new-timey sound.

Poor piano, so unloved.

But will it be worth the work and effort? Probably not. So...it may be destined for an inglorious ending; no coda, no big cymbal crashes. Just a whimpering trip to the dump. Or a bonfire? No, that's too awful to contemplate.
