I'm sorry about the blank email. Wrong button... If you are doing any new piano purchasing, use it as a trade in.

Outright sales, like on Ebay, are tricky if not impossible here. Your results may vary. If you are able and willing to donate it, I'm sure a local high school would love to get it. Community theater?
