How I Repurposed an Old Piano

By letter2self on February 23, 2023



Old, worn pianos are free to get. That made me wonder what I would do with an antique upright piano. I thought about it, made a plan, got me one, worked on it for five months and essentially repurposed the piano. In this video you can see what came out. The piano contains eight electronic devices. The video invites you to count with us.

Special thanks to Joffry Arthur (pianist / composer – details below) and Ed Wens (camera).

Digital piano: Casio CDP-130 Black
For the opening of the top I used a linear actuator that I took out of an old patient recliner chair.
