Free Piano - $1 (Downtown Asheville)

Free Piano Matching mirror (sturdy, black with distressed finish) is $100 This beautiful antique piano is over a hundred years old, made with care in Philadelphia, PA.
I am downsizing and no longer have space for this piece.
It’s been in my family for at least 50-60 years.
It is a little out of tune right now but holds a tune very well for years at a time.
The main characteristic with this piano is a few keys with sticking felts that require a little love.
These keys can stick when pressed and take a while to pop back up, which can interrupt a song, and need to be sprayed with WD-40 every so often.
I can show you how to do it.
This piano will be a great fit for you if: * You are an experienced player who won’t sweat a sticking key every once in a while.
* You are willing and able to lift off the front piece (weights about 20 lbs) to spray some WD-40 on the hammer flange pins every once in a while when a key starts sticking.
* You normally use AC in the summer to cut the humidity.
(this keeps the felts happy) * You want the antique furniture aspect of this beautiful piece and don’t mind the watermarks on the top where you’ll put your own potted plants or a cloth runner.
You don’t mind the chips, scratches, white trim paint scrape on the front, and signs of 100 years of being well loved.
You may even have experience refinishing furniture and would enjoy touching it up a little bit.
* You are settled in one place and don’t move homes very often.
* or * You are an artist who wants a beautiful piano to disassemble for an art piece.
* and * * You don’t mind paying a three-person piano mover to deliver this to you, because yes, it actually does require three very strong humans to move.
(I have a great piano mover contact ready for you) Who this piano is not for: * A new player who is just learning.
New learners learn best on highly functional instruments.
Any sticking keys will disrupt beginners practice and agility and can create needless frustration.
* Someone who honestly won’t get around to spraying the felts, or who doesn’t have the budget to have it looked at by a professional.
* Someone who doesn’t have the capacity to pay a couple hundred dollars for a piano mover to bring it home.
* Someone who would rather get two of their friends to help them move it than the piano mover.
Just trust me on this one, it’s a beast.
I hope to find the right home for this piano so I don’t have to take it to the dump next month.
Because that would be sad.
Thanks for considering!
