Pianos are where you really get fucked because they're difficult to dispose of and no one wants them. If they're in an inconvenient place like down in a basement, you're really fucked. Unlike china, which can be used for eating off of, or china cabinets that can be repurposed for other things, there's not much you can do with a piano. If you're lucky, some family member will have a sentimental attachment to it and want it but 99% of the time, you're going to have to pay movers to come get it and then pay for it to be landfilled.
