I could not figure out the meaning of it. What does 使わずに mean?

What does 使わずに mean?
EDIT: 使わずに means 使わないで which just means "without doing." You can look up
examples on the web. It's a combination of the different form of the verb for
negatives + に.

Examples:

  * する - せず
  * 食べる - 食べず
  * 帰る - 帰らず

answer
使わずに means "without using".

The ~ずに pattern is used to indicate absence of an action(since ずに is added
only to verbs). You add ずに to the negative root [ない] form of a verb. Eg:

歌{うた}う- 歌{うた}わない- 歌{うた}わずに

帰{かえ}る- 帰{かえ}らない- 帰{かえ}らずに

As mentioned in the comment on the answer above the [~ずに] pattern is similar
to the [~ないで] pattern.You can check these links out

So, the translation(not literal) of your sentence according to me is-

There's an unused piano at my home/I have an unused piano lying at my home.
