Ten Amazing Ways to Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle Pianos

One thing you will not know about me is that I love playing the piano. One day in a bar I just started tinkering with one and suddenly it was like I understood how to play it! (or maybe I was just drunk) Sadly I could never in a million years afford to get my own one, I did think about getting an old one once and renovating it. But it seems people have other uses for their old pianos…

10 – A note left for a pianist from his wife: “Gone Chopin, have Liszt, Bach in a Minuet.”

This is got to be one of the World’s craziest PC case mods EVER! But also kind of amazing as well! With 3 screens and all the wires being internal, this is not as crazy as it first seems.

9 – Why was the piano invented? So the pianist would have a place to put his beer.

It seems that an increasing idea that old pianist uses to hide their growing drink problem is to hide it inside an old piano! And it has to be said that it is not a bad idea at all.

8 – Why did the pianist keep banging his head against the keys? He was playing by ear.

While it is not the best idea, and certainly not the hardest to replicate, the idea of turning an old piano into a bookcase is one that quite a few people seem to do.

7 – Why are pianists’ fingers like lightning? They rarely strike the same place twice.

Unlike number 8 this idea means you could stick whatever you wanted onto the shelves because the only thing people will be looking at is the stunning piano bookshelf you made!

6 – What do you call a fish that is a pianist? A piano tuna.

I have a small regret about posting this one, you see I just wish that I knew about it while I was making the post “Top 10 Aquariums Built Inside furniture” because it is such a great idea turning an old piano into an aquarium that I wish I could do it myself!

5 – What do you get when you drop a piano down a mineshaft? A flat minor.

Really this is 2 ideas in one, not only have these people turned an old piano into an amazing piece of mosaic art displayed in their garden but also turned it into a planter! I like it!

4 – What do you get when you drop a piano on an army base? A flat major.

Much the same as number 5 but without all the fancy artwork this piano turned garden ornament is strangely beautiful in a poetic sort of way. But whatever way you look at it, it’s a simple idea and one that is sure to get some delightful looks as people see it.

3 – Why do pianos get headaches? Because their strings are under so much tension.

While it might not be the most visible of all the ideas we have seen so far it is one of the better ones because making a headboard out of an old piano doesn’t seem that hard and would make a great feature in a music-themed bedroom.

2 – What has 88 keys but no locks? A piano!

Who needs boring old car stereos when you could turn an old piano into some sort of hot rod! Sure this is overkill, but there is no point denying it, it’s an incredible use of a piano!

1 – Why was the piano player arrested? Because he got into treble.

You have probably all seen this image a thousand times before and will see it a thousand times after this blog post, but the art of turning an old piano into a garden water feature is nothing short of pure genius, and dare I say it, almost music to my eyes!
