It’s especially sad because once upon a time that piano, which now makes only broken and out-of-tune noises was once shiny and new and displayed with pride. An old piano is as evocative and forlorn as those family photo albums that turn up in junk shops. In those cracked and discoloured keys and squeaky non-functioning pedals you can feel and smell the traces of family singalongs, hours of careful practice, and random tinklings by infants or passing cats. They are repositories of history and memory. There are few sadder sights than an abandoned piano, because old pianos are more than just musical instruments.
