Donating your Piano
Unfortunately most organisations will not accept a heavy item or musical instrument like a piano.
If the piano can be tuned then advertising it on gumtree or Facebook is a great way to dispose of an unwanted piano.
As it is a dangerous and heavy item, we still recommend you call professional and affordable piano movers in Melbourne.
