So you are salvaging wood from a piano? That's cool. I had been thinking about that for a while. There are always adds on craigslist here for free piano (or organ) you haul" around here. It seems that the organs built after 1970-ish are mostly veneer over particle board, but I have a 60's Conn organ in my studio that hasn't been played for years honestly, and it is solid mahogany and maple, many parts are 6/4. Honestly it has a great vintage sound on some settings, but I always just play my Yamaha on recordings. Unless it's a Moog, or a Hamond B3 or something, sad but true, there is not much use for these anymore. Certainly no monetary value..... My biggest issue with this is tearing apart a perfectly good instrument of any kind (sniff
) but morally, if it goes to building another instrument, well, heck yeah. I think it's better than letting it sit un-played for years, right?Maybe a little off topic, but mine is FILLED with vintage tubes, some of which are worth a lot these days. Certainly I could experiment with my own guitar amps?
haha. We used a railtie lifter and bashed the heck out of the thing. There's still some more wood on the back that may be useful, but I need a saw, and haven't got a single one 
I'll start a pre-fab harp business on the side hahaha
