Hmmm, I spent the day demolishing a piano and schlepping it to the dump, an act of musical profanity but a sign of the times: pianos are big, heavy and need constant tuning, which is expensive. That's why you literally can't give them away. A sign of how our society has changed, and not for the better. In the 'olden days' every family had someone who could play the piano, and thus entertain the rest at gatherings such as Thanksgiving. Now we are taught that families are irrelevant or redundant, and all these pianos are winding up in the landfill. A sad metaphor for our times.

Yes, anything old and heavy that needs tuning goes to the dump. I sometimes feel like that piano...thanks for the comment though.
