Shoved into a corner, gathering dust and being buried by old shipping envelopes, the school house piano has seen better times. I’m assuming this instrument has had many years use in the belated classrooms of this school and once was accompanied by the voices of young students.

Gorgeous photo…this schoolhouse piano is amazing!
Thanks Valerie, yes it was quite a find. Thank you for stopping by 🙂
very nice images! i like it!
Thank you geanina!
Unfortunately, my first school did not have a piano. But, even without instruments, my teacher (Eugenia was her name) taught us many songs. I think that everyday, we sing a little bit.

An now, the big question: do you know to play piano?
😉
I do not, unfortunately I virtually no musical abilities 🙁
That’s a pianola from the look of it. Odd instrument for a school to have.
It was a small school so I’m guessing they had it incase none of the teachers knew how to play.
A player piano by the looks of it, Will. WOW. It could tell a thousand stories, I’m sure!
Thanks Ginnie 🙂
nice textures and beauty 🙂
I smell the dust and can the hear the off-tune sound. great picture!
Thanks Omar, you’ve added a great visual 🙂
Excellent. The beauty you find in decay is amazing.
Poor piano is looking quite sad.
But this is not a usual piano. Seems to have an automatic like this one.
