Extremely OT: Eavestaff minipiano (free, please god take it)

Strange one here that might just be up someone's street, who knows – this rather beautiful Eavestaff "minipiano" has lived/taken up space in our rented flat in Camberwell for over a decade, nobody can remember who the original owner was, and I would be delighted to move it on to anybody who might have some use for it. It is exceptionally out of tune, but may be salvageable by somebody who knows their stuff. Otherwise it's going to have to go to the skip one of these days (unless anybody has any other suggestions, which I'd welcome), which seems a shame. Would need collection one way or another as none of us can drive and it weighs a fucking tonne. Ideas/expressions of interest welcome!

These are great. If you still have it in 3-6 months I’d be keen. I’ve set a calendar reminder

Are they salvageable? I seem to remember last time I researched it the sites were all saying they aren't worth the work.

Interesting. I remember my sister had one and it was small and fun. If it can't be salvaged to it's intended or original condition then it could have a fun second life as a wave generator for a more experimental setup or put to some other tuning.

Leave it outside with a £50 sign on it, someone will come along and nick it.

Leave it with a free sign on it and it will still be there a week later.

Do you know what year it's from?
And an idea of the dimensions?

Many thanks

129w x 41d x 86h cm, no idea on year I’m afraid

Given that Liz was still a princess when they made it, it’s got some years on it.

^ This is the way to do it @margot_skidder. Facebook marketplace or Nextdoor.

Put it up for £100 and wait for someone to lowball you. Grudgingly accept, but only if they can collect that day/weekend

Plop it on free cycle will be gone in no time
