> "I'd say the value of upright pianos is actually negative."

We just got rid of my parents' old upright piano, which had been abused by all of us kids for decades, but was still almost perfectly in tune.

It was definitely negative value. It was heavy and taking up valuable space. It cost almost $200 to get piano movers to take it to salvage / the dump. So if someone had taken it for free, we would have been ecstatic.

(Also, our Technics SX-PX552 does the job just fine.)
