Re: PESO - Water Music

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. On 11/18/2021 10:14

Re: PESO - Water Music

Thanks, Rick - I had been wondering what kind of piano that came from. The soundboard was not far from the shore at all - a couple of yards at most. And a a nice concrete boat ramp was just a few feet out of the frame. It would have been easy for someone to lug it there and drop it in the

Re: PESO - Water Music

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

For a while a couple years back there was some kind of YouTube trend taking old pianos & demolishing them. The people posting videos didn't seem to be too concerned with the trash they left behind. On 11/15/2021 8:34 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: Flood victim I'm guessing   sad... but love the

Re: PESO - Water Music

Hi Ann - Glad you liked the photo. I think Paul is right - we don't have much flooding and I don;t recall any activity last fall. It's common to find trash dumped in the woods and very common to find furniture and old TV's. But usually they are just hauled off to the woods and used for

Re: PESO - Water Music

Thanks, Dan. I rekindled my relationship with the 6x7 last year by finally switching to the waist level chimney finder with adjustable diopter. As my eyes got older,  focusing with the eye level finder become a guessing game. I've been using the 6x7 and also some 6x6 TLRs quite a bit lately.

It appalls me that anyone would want to "throw away" a piano (& a grand piano nogal!). Surely a home could have been found for it even if it had to be repaired. My daughter in the UK says many people leave things like that on the sidewalk & they are gratefully "taken over" within hours. Some
