I’m always telling people: beware the free piano, because a $0 piano can quickly turn out to be a $-2000 piano.

If you actually want my piano-buying advice and not just offhand comentary on behavioral experiments, my advice is that you should get yourself a copy of The Piano Book by Larry Fine.
If you want to buy or care for a piano, it’s gold.

"Free as in a piano" has been in my vocabulary for a long time, as another point on the "free as in [speech|beer|a puppy]" spectrum -
@dymaxion
Oh, that’s good. Despite my saying above, I’d never thought to use the phrase as a part of that classic lineup! -
free pianos are frequently like free as in puppy, not free as in beer.

To be fair if you stop playing with the piano it shuts up, while the puppy does the opposite -

Sometimes I think that it’s crucial we do not understand what we’re getting into, because the large things in life that are really worth doing can’t happen any other way.
