What related to Your Old Useless Piano?

You will find literally 100s of early upright and spinet pianos which are free to take. Like a piano tuner and specialist I am often even compensated to consider these pianos away.

Exist anything interesting that you can do using these old pianos?

Absolutely, you will find many awesome methods to recycle these old pianos. Here are a few ways I have recycled old pianos.

Idea #1

Digital/Analog piano. Go ahead and take secrets and action set up from a classic upright and replace all of them with a complete length 88 key keyboard. Then hide the pc (if you work with one) and also the audio system within the piano cabinet. You may also cut holes right in front and sides to mount a set screen and loudspeakers. Ultimately there is a complete midi music making setup with keyboard, computer, and audio system. Give a wireless mouse and keyboard and you're simply set.

- It is also better to take away the iron plate and strings for additional inside room and to help make the piano lighter. This really is just for the bravest of DIY pros as it is just a little harmful as well as some kind of special tools-

Idea #2

Wood recycling. The wood found in old pianos is frequently incredible. Many solid (not the veneered parts) from the piano could be removed out and employed for carving and small woodworking projects. A friend makes beautiful knife handles in the old wood I strip from pianos. Old pianos also contain ivory and ebenholzfarben. Turn from the century pianos also contain some excellent designs and carvings and filagree.

Idea #3

Sculpture. Most of the interior pieces and areas of the experience, as well as the ebenholzfarben and ivory secrets are appropriate for sculpture. Also, home plate as sculpture is extremely intriguing and consists of lots of functional iron.

Idea #4

A children's mattress. I remember when i saw a classic grand piano transformed into an excellent awesome mattress. Home plate was removed and padding and foam was placed within the soundboard. The lyre was removed and also the ft were sawed partly off,. It looked very beautiful with it's curved lines. The lid remained on and guaranteed towards the wall during the night (therefore it wouldn't drop). Can also be an adult's mattress should you had a longer piano.
