There are more than a few reasons that a piano is being offered for free. Of course, there are deals to be had, but more often these pianos are neglected instruments that have been left in homes or inherited from a relative. There are many costs that you can expect to add to this "FREE" piano. You can add the cost and logistics of moving a piano (700+ pounds), tuning fees (can it hold a tune?), and possible repairs. Sometimes a piano can look great but not be able to stay in tune and keep that tension stable or it needs extensive repairs.
