On a related note, the NY Times had an article this week about the rising number of pianos being dumped: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/30/arts/music/for-more-pianos...

yeah, I recently replaced my piano with an Williams Overture 88 ($500), midi out, headphones, weighted keys, sounds just like the real thing.

Nice! This was my first thought... digitize it! Didn't want to spend the cash for the keyboard though so it ended up being a desk. I would love to convert it into a digital keyboard one day.

Yeah, and that wouldn't be that hard, you can get a roland controller, one of the slim ones and just hook it up to the computer with some vst plugins.
