Upright Piano

While researching one day I ran across a beautiful bar made from a piano. They guted it and placed shelves and mirror in back inside took the legs off and hung it on the wall with a small pedistal to bear the load made from the legs. It might have been an old issue of Fine Woodworking. If I run across the article again we will get you some images and the article. Randolph@cooperedpatterns

Sounds like Randolph Torres has a good idea.

My son plays the piano, and I had an old player model that was in the same shape as your piano. I took it apart one piece at a time and turned the keys into a keyboard shelf that he can put his “stuff” on above his playing piano. I turned the top into an antique looking shelf to hold my wife’s antiques.

I didn’t need anything big like a sideboard, so I just built what I wanted/needed with the lumber I had. What I did discover is that pianos a built! Rather than messing around with the strings, I just used a big bolt cutter to loosen the strings.
