The Trebuchet for Junk Pianos
By Steve McCollum

Re: Use for Worthless Pianos

Toss them long distances with a trebuchet.  See

http://asylum.apocalypse.org/pub/u/zonker/fpp/html/trebuchet.html

  "Then, with a great groaning, the beam is let go.  As the
   counterweight plummets, the piano in its sling whips through
   an enormous arc, up and over the top of the trebuchet and down
   the pasture, a flight of 125 yards.  The record for pianos is
   151 yards (an upright model, with less wind resistance)."
