100 Year Old Piano

A member of the Crow Hill community reached out. "There is a piano here in York that needs rescuing". An act of incredible generosity we were gifted this as it needed to go to a good home. Pianos are extraordinary machines which because of their unique and complex - and highly pressurised - make up will seldom sound the same from one day to the next. So before giving this John Brinsmead & Sons piano the TLC it needs, a tune up, a spruce up, a dusting! We thought we'd capture it in this moment. Off the back of a van after being transported from Northern England to Scotland. A little road-weary a little worse-for-wear. A little like us sometimes. What has been created is a very characterful out-of-tune and definitely old sounding piano without it going the full pub or honky tonk. For songs and scenes that need a little dilapidated wear and tear this piano is the perfect candidate.
