When I visited, I recall that the piano was unobtrusively located in a main hallway and was completely covered by a red "blanket". I did not realize that the piano was there until Peter Patrao pointed it out.
I do not recall the piano being adjacent to stairs leading to a stage, so I assume the piano was moved during the past few years.

The picture below my user name is what I saw. it might have been playable. I did not ask. When I viewed it, the red tarp was still partially covering the piano.
When I was there I spoke with an older man named Peter Patrao who was almost completely blind and was Freddie's former math instructor. The following is an article concerning Peter Patrao's memories of Freddie's life at the school, and of course ... the story concerning the burnt-out shell of a Moutrie piano.

Yes, that's the one.But it certainly was not a burnt out shell. Perhaps some exaggeration on Mr. Patrao's part..?

Perhaps only the wooden exterior was damaged by the fire, and the less flammable ivories and metal wires left intact?

I think you are right. It was horribly out of tune, and a couple of the keys were a bit lopsided, so I am sure it was not used for the school after the fire; just kept as a souvenir I guess.
