    I've seen a few public/semi-public spaces that just have a piano in the middle that anyone who wants to can just sit down and play, and I feel like they have universally made them far better spaces, much more communal vibe that makes people aware of each other even if it's just amongst a bunch of shops.

    So even if there's no market for selling old pianos there's way better things to do with them than make a fucking uPcYcLeD rangehood out of them

      I wish places like this had guitars! It's been ages since I touched a keyboard or piano.

      I assume there are a lot of old pianos that have their shit irreversibly fucked up. Like in my dorm we had a piano that had a crack on that huge wooden wall thing where all the string connect. Pianos like this are absolutely worthless. You can old ones that weren't taken good care of but not as fucked for absolutely free.

      A town in my province had ten or twenty in different spots around the downtown, at least one summer. It was pretty amazing.

        That sounds cool! And they even get free labour cos there's always some elderly person starved of human contact who gets to feel like they're actually part of a community by plinking away at old songs and being a centre of attention for once
