    You should be able to get one handy enough - keep an eye on www.adverts.ie and on www.buyandsell.ie I got a piano last April for €70 here on the old FS on boards.ie.

    Be sure to familiarise yourself with whats good and not good with a piano. Make sure you get a piano that is iron-framed and if possible overstrung. If you can bring a guitar tuner with you and try to ascertain if the piano is still in (or near) to concert pitch. If you get one that is flattened to B or Bflat then it will be impossible to play it with other instruments with out getting it 'pitch-raised'. It's one thing for all the keys of a piano to be in relative tune to each other, but being in concert pitch can be important. Either way you will have to get it tuned after transport. And you should leave it in the room it will be in for about a month before getting it tuned so it can acclimatise to the rooms enviornment. If you want more infor PM me.
