How can I get a good free piano?

If you have a good relationship with a school or church, you might be able to use one of their instruments during off-hours.

Finding a free piano that's worth owning is a crap shoot. Your best bet is to put a wanted ad in the paper with the stipulation that you may evaluate the piano (as opposed to half a dozen pickup trucks lining up in front of your driveway with special "gifts".)

Other than that, your best option is still to buy or rent from a reputable dealer.

Hi, Unfortuntely finding the proverbial free upright that is mostly dependable and useable is difficult.

The best thing I can advise is get a copy of Larry Fines "The Piano Book". and read it throughly. It will give you a some great information about what to look for and their construction.

Keep your eyes out in your local paper for uprights, sometimes they are listed for free, but you still have to move them. That is the dangerous part, often people try to move them with a few friends and get into trouble so please consider a moving company that does it professionally. If any more questions please feel free to ask. good luck!

I'm sorry to say but most of the time free and good do not go hand-in-hand.

Have you tried your local community college? I know some have music practice rooms you could possibly use. They don't check school ID or anything like that xP.
