If you’ve found yourself in the position of housing the upright piano that your great-grandmother once played in her parlor, and it has become just another dust-collecting piece of unused furniture, you might want to consider having it removed. These standard pianos are the most commonly used because of their compact form and warm sound, but the materials and composition that create those same qualities also make the upright piano susceptible to easy wear over time. As the piano becomes worn, its sound changes, and eventually becomes quite out of key.
