If ‘Free Pianos’ Show Up in Your Feed, Don’t Be Duped: Industry Pioneers Warn Against Them
If you’ve been browsing Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, you may have come across enticing offers for “free pianos.” At first glance, this might seem like an incredible deal, but it’s important to take a closer look. According to piano technician Hannah Beckett, “An expired piano is not a gift; it is a liability.” Beckett is on a mission to reshape how we approach the purchase and upkeep of our beloved 88-key instruments. Pianos, like all organic materials, have a limited lifespan. Shockingly, around 95% of the pianos offered for free are outdated instruments that have long surpassed their healthy years.
