After more research into the value of my piano, all signs still pointed to peanuts. The only other thing of interest I discovered was that it was built in 1939. Coincidentally this was yet another piece of growing evidence that indicated it was not worth much. Well my piano was just fine by me! It also brought a certain sense of richness to the living room that my Ikea furniture only dreamed about. Something inside me, however, wanted to make this old piano shine. That’s when the lightbulb went off. What if I used my piano as an art project? That way, I could bring out the treasure that only I seemed to feel had any value. I did have a lot of resources at my disposal that could assist me in tackling a big project like this. I had access to a wood shop, a plastics shop, and a metal shop. Not to mention the new rapid prototyping center, which I’ve be told can copy wood parts using laser cutters. Who could turn down the possibility of playing with lasers? Not I! I was sold. And the Vintage Piano Project had begun.
