About

Find a shallow pond with a clay/other hard bed in an isolated place.

Slide upright piano into position vertically, just off-shore.

Anchor the piano against storms, e.g. by rope to strong stakes.

Take photographs and play it monthly, as it slowly sinks.

Piano Drowning is part of the Piano Transplants series.
