Quite a find girl. Love it. And your right. Sometimes we look at a picture and can imagine what took place and the history behind it. A fantastic look at a bit of history that tells a story. So superbly photographed my friend. #10103621

My neighbor's hobby is restoring old pianos. I think this would be his biggest challenge yet! A wonderful find and capture, Heather. Have you returned to the mainland? #10103827

Seeing this old piano is bittersweet, Heather.
I agree with you: it must have livened up many a night for those who heard it in its heyday.
But its present state, neglected and broken down, is just so sad...
Your composition is superb, and the dim lighting adds so much to the sense of age and disuse. Thought-provoking to the extreme.
Looking forward to seeing this again.

Wow. How does this happen to a piano? Heat? Rain? Kids? Termites? Very sad and what an emotion evoking image! I play the piano and have great respect for them. I hope it had a really great life. :)

AWESOME find, Heather!!!
