Would smearing faeces across the keys count?

I think it’s brave to admit that you could not

No

It’s not hard to rip the hammers out, destroying the piano. Any panel you break off can be used as a handy improvised weapon.
Easy.

I like your thinking, but hammers are replaceable and I reckon it’d be really hard to rip one of those panels off.

Just hands? Can I kick it? (Yes you can!)

Would it count if I pushed it off a cliff?

If I was on the top floor of a building, or its roof, yes, I could.

(eg the Baker House piano drop)

I will allow kicking, if you think it will help.

In many ways, feet are the hands of the legs

Aha!

Actually I’ve changed my vote

I would defiantly be able to render one completely useless/ valueless

Cheap old pianos (like not fancy Steinways etc) are effectively valueless anyway as you often literally can’t give them away

Let’s say it’s on the ground floor, you can get it to the top of a building but you can’t use a loft because the lift is too small

Talk me through your process

I could make it cry by playing Debussy real nice on it

(No, I am not physically impressive enough to do that)

I think the back of an upright piano is pretty vulnerable, if I can just hoof my boot through it, I can start dismantling it.

Similarly with a grand, if I can just stand on top of it and get inside, I have enough weight to fuck that Steinway right up.

As long as I’m wearing shoes, I can break it.

I reckon you might be right with this
