Broadwood
We have a Broadwood (a Boudoir grand from the good years), they are a mid-market maker, so not Steinway/Bosendorfer but more valuable than school room beaters. Still not worth paying to store, unless you accept that you're spending the money purely to keep it in the family for sentimental reasons.
My sister had a surprisingly good experience contacting the piano manufacturer about her upright that needed repairing. They quoted for repairing, then offered a refurbished baby grand for the same cost. And they took the upright. They seem to take back their old pianos to refurb for little profit.
Eta: the company is called Broadwood
