I suspect an upright "console" or "spinet" piano. The back of the furniture would probably have enough buoyancy to float the smaller frame.

And I still think it's likely someone destroyed the piano before it entered the river so it may have more than just the soundboard.

Paul, the rectangular shape tells that it’s the frame, strings, and soundboard 
from an upright piano. I think that a flood could easly have torn away the 
cabinet and action, leaving this.

The cast-iron frame would weigh about 150-200 lbs, though, and a thin maple 
soundboard wouldn’t be bouyant enough to float it. How it got there remains a 
mystery-- though a raging torrent could have done it, I suppose.

A flood can’t rip the sound board out of a piano. Pianos are hard to get 
dispose of, so some miscreants chop them up and dump them.

A sad story about illegal dumping, but a good catch my Mark.

Shot last November, I never got around to processing  and posting this image - 
visited this spot today and remembered this shot. Today I didn't manage to 
shoot out a whole roll of film - got 9 of 12 exposure in the bag - so it will 
be a day or two before I finish up today's work.
