I have no money to purchase a grand piano. Does anyone know where I can get a grand piano for free?

You won't be able to get a grand piano for free, but chances are you could get a spinet or upright for free. Check free ads in the newspaper, or also check your local music store. Some stores that take trade ins on pianos have some that are not good enough for them to sell and they end up just junking them. I ended up getting a free piano that way! But as far as getting a grand, probably wont happen.
And also, getting a piano moved is a lot of money too. Depending on where you live, how big the piano is, etc. It will be at least $100 to move it. Also, free pianos usually arent inttune or have something broken in them. So they might not sound good, and getting a piano tuned can be another $100 or more.
So, it's better in the long run to just save up your money and buy a piano. Henry F. Miller's are pretty cheap pianos new.
Good luck!

As what others have said, it's difficult to get a piano for free. Perhaps if you really want to play on the grand piano, maybe you could just book a studio with a grand piano when you feel like playing.

Even if you did get a free grand piano, no one would deliver it to you for free. Have you ever moved a grand piano? It's not easy. Expect to pay someone around $200 to move it for you. Then when it's in your home (if it actually plays), expect to pay a piano tuner $50 or more to tune it for you.
Just know the cheapest used grand piano I've seen was selling for $800, and it was a piece of junk. Maybe set your standards a little lower. You could feasibly find someone looking to get rid of an upright piano for free as long as you haul it away. You could probably do this yourself with a U-Haul, but you will still have to pay someone to tune it after you move it.
I hope this helps.

... I doubt that you can get one for free anywhere... I'm actually saving up money myself to get a piano. I suggest that you just save money, and then maybe buy a used one, it'll be cheaper.
