You will want to remove the fibreglass soundboard and plastic keys before burning the rest of the, um, ahh, Piano Shaped Object. No sense adding insult to injury, environmentally speaking. These things did violence enough to music without creating an environmental disaster in the bargain. By the way, how did you get them to last as long as 20 years? In California's hydrocarbon filled air, I never saw one older than five years that could still be recognized as a piano at all. Must be the cold winters. Frozen stuff lasts longer.

We have here probably one of the worst cases of Piano shaped objects ever made. For a while techs over here were attempting to simply replace both action and keys with wood parts. In the end it simply is not worth the time and effort. Lindners simply disintegrate given about 20 years. Richard Brekne >> Actually it's not for me. It's for a small dealer who bought one, and is now trying to fix it to sell. I tried to tell him to burn it, but he doesn't give up that easy. Wim
