How to Tell When it’s Time for Piano Disposal

Do you have a piano that’s been in your family for generations? An instrument so loved and with so many memories? But when you sit down to play, one of the keys just doesn’t sound like it used to or maybe doesn’t play at all. Or maybe the exterior of the piano is damaged and cracked after years of love and memory making.

Pianos are the most complex instrument, each with thousands of moving parts that must work together in harmony to create music. However, when some of those parts stop working, the once soothing music becomes just a memory.

When it’s time to consider piano disposal in St Paul, Piano Movers Extraordinaire is here to help you through your decision.

Is it Worth Repairing Your Piano?

Sometimes deciding to let go can be hard, and that’s okay. You should be completely sure of your decision and that’s why we recommend considering whether it’s worth it to repair your piano. Sometimes a repair may be worth the money that it would cost to fix it, but that’s not always the case.

We highly recommend that before you decide to dispose of your old piano, that first you consider reconditioning. We even have recommendations for piano restorers and refinishers to contact in the area to make it easier for you!

Once you have received estimates on how much it would cost to repair your piano, it’s time for you to make your decision. Is your piano worth repairing?

When making your decision, here are some questions for you to consider:

-        Is the original quality good enough to restore?

-        Will it cost more to repair it than to replace it?

-        Is the overall condition of the piano good?

These three questions can help ease your mind that you are making the right decision, no matter what choice you end up making. The last thing you need when disposing of a treasured family artifact is the regret that maybe you should have done more.
