Motts, did the piano still function? That would be eerie to hear music playing from that old relic.

When I worked at a State Hospital, I remember every item was carefully accounted for and not much went to waste. When a near by hospital (Retreat State Hospital) closed down, Our facility received their inventory, nothing was left to rot away even old desks in need of repair were recycled. I'm always amazed when I see equipment or items like this piano being left behind.....

It ain't valuable anymore! Although I have a CD by an Australian guy named Ross Bolleter who uses abandoned pianos and organs. Compositions are specified for "ruined piano" and "decayed organ."

Now what would really be eerie is if you were in there and that piano started playing on it's own.

This is not the first time i see an abandoned piano in these places. I wonder why they didn't sell it or better why they didn't give it to someone of the employees, it would have been better than leaving it there to rot... :-(

Guess where you worked, Silkster40z, they really cared. That's the only thing that really baffles me , looking at these pictures; it's as if they closed up and just walked away. I can't understand alot of that. But then I read alot of books on abandonments in the wesr and alot of places still have all their furniture in them and in the one, even the bed was made! It's like they just took off!!

Nancy, I hang out at an art studio that was a furniture factory long before it closed down (not sure when, couldn't have been any later than the 60's or 70's). When the building was purchased and re-opened (last year), according to the art instructor, everything was still in place as if the workers just walked out one day. She even found someone's old glasses sitting on a machine! I certainly don't understand it either.

Music echoes through the halls. Close by, the veteran urban explorer pauses and listens carefully. He follows the sound, eventually reaching the decrepit auditorium. There sits a beautiful antique piano. The music seems to be coming from it. He walks up to the unmoving keyboard and taps a key.

Seriously JAVA, you probably wouldn't want that piano, I mean, that thing looks thrashed! Still, it would depend on how far gone it was, and if it was still free... eh, maybe, maybe not.

I work on pianos. Sadly, that one looks to be beyond reasonable repair. The hammers have been removed, and the fact that some keys are stuck down and ivories falling off are a good indication that there is moisture damage.

First flew the greedy Pelican, Eager for the reward White wings flailing. Then came the silent Dove Flying beyond the Pelican, As far as he could. A raven flies in, Flying higer than the Dove, Just to show he can. A swan glides in, To find a peaceful spot, Next to another bird. Finally out comes a crow Coming quickly to a stop Yawning and then napping. Who will show the way, Who will be the key, Who will lead to The silver reward.

I was watching this video on youtube a while back. These two dudes decided to check out an Asylum and they found a piano and played couple notes on it and it made an awsome sound :D

Silkster, you must have worked at a place that was small enough, or didn't lease from Xerox, and the place you got your stuff from would have been closed outright ...there were really enough people to move everything, and it wasn't deemed too expensive?? wow.
