I suppose if someone wants to burn their piano that is their right. But I surely hope that it didn't have real ivory on the white keys and that the black keys weren't real ebony. That's some pretty precious material to be burning up, particularly to a maker of musical instruments like guitars. Generally lots of good maple in there too, and if the piano is old there is a chance that it is "old growth" maple. If the piano contained any of the above it still doesn't rise to the level of a crime... just major league waste & stupidity.
