if you checkout free ad magazines/gumtree/freecycle you can usually find them free, only issue is actually getting them to your house and obviously having the room to keep it.
bingo
that and fitting them through the door
most of the time a piano is a permanent addition to where it is placed
yup i had to pass up a free piano because i couldn't get it into where i lived, bit gutting but would of been practically impossible. i would love a piano but i'm not removing a window to get it in.

Cheers for all the feedback guys, unfortunately this is now all completely irrelevant because my musical virtuoso friend has given me an old yamaha jobby on semi-permanent lend, which is fucking sweet.
Might be looking in the future though so I will refer back to (some of) your advice.
Oh, and I kept seeing pianos on freecycle but my studio is on the top floor of my house so that would be pretty difficult really...

I just can't control myself. stop, just please fucking stop writing that stupid "chea!!" after your every fucking post! just stop it!
only to not be strictly offtopic, here's my hardware:

can't recommend it or anything because it hasn't got 88 keys nor are they weighted. but it's still cool

what would happen if you had it be an outdoor piano? how long do you think it would last? Probably go out of tune pretty fast and the wood would rot. You could put a tarp under it and find something to put over it to resist weather and extreme temperature... Why am I even thinking about this... But if it was free and you had a yard/stronger friends/a truck why not?

...because I wanna learn to play the piano... and you need enough keys to play two handed, and they need to be properly weighted so you can get the feeling of a real piano

nobody needs a full 88 unless they are really crazy..
the mpk has knobs sliders nice keys and a great feel
88 keys and weighted are for those of us who like to play naturally
there's a world outside of 3 note basslines and a couple octave melodies

Someone works for akai

Pianos sound good from the bottom to the top.
I use a two octave axiom for simple dub stuf but not everyone only produces electronic music...
Hence...
