When I was a kid, every home had a spinet 'furniture' piano. It's just what folks had in their living room, and dreadfully, I'd get cajoled into playing these beasts which were never tuned since they were delivered. I guess for 'Alley Cat' or Baptist hymns they were alright, but it made me crazy. So every one of these that can get turned into other USEFUL ends is just FINE with me, I suppose you can't barge them all out to deep water . . . .
While we're at it, as a piano traditionalist, I'd have to say that for most folks, you'd be crazy to buy something like that anymore, digital pianos have gotten really, really good. If you are willing to make the spend for a proper studio or some size grand and willing to do the proper upkeep, and have the income for it, go for it, nothing replaces the real thing. But otherwise, as hard as it is for me to admit it, there are great digital pianos today that are essentially maintenance free and several multiples cheaper than a GOOD piano. And they're marriage savers: No headphone jack on a Steinway . . . . .
