A few years ago I a letter in the mail that had “IMPORTANT PIANO INFORMATION” printed on the envelope. Upon reading the letter, I learned that the important piano information was that a local college’s music department had received a donation of new pianos, and they were selling their old ones as a fundraiser, and I had the opportunity to buy one. Or I think it was actually a third party running the sale, hence the junk mail with the important piano information. I guess it was worth a shot for them, but from what I gathered from [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-get-rid-of-an-old-piano/967159), old pianos are virtually impossible to even give away. Really, I was just amused by how the letter announced that it contained important piano information. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/interesting-fundraisers-you-have-encountered/980515)._
