Last night I found a piano, a tv , some misc. baby strollers/ cribs, some cool mosquito lamps, VCR player, and some various other metal pieces. Oh and a roll of copper wire!

Never know what your going to find. What size is the copper wire?
Not sure but it's ins wire that's a little bigger than the lead in a #2 pencil. It's probably 4 lbs or so

Some strollers are aluminum. But way too much plastic

mascraps,
after you take the piano apart post what you got out of it!
I found one while scrapping. After doing the research, it has a approximate value of $20 with all various metals accounted for. I decided to leave it be.
Reasons not to pick it up:
-Heavy
-Too much wood for steel pile
-Too much time to dismantle
-Strings under a lot of tension. Can easily be hurt if one breaks or is taken apart wrong.
-A 200lb piece of iron somewhere inside it. I forget what its for, but it is a pain to get to.
But still check to see if the keys are ivory. If the wood is high quality, you could feasibly sell it to a craftsman I guess. Otherwise, strip any metal on the outside if its worth it to you and move on.
