More than a piece of furniture: it is sometimes as if these old pianos have souls

"While restructuring a collection of historical keyboard instruments at the ANU
School of Music, I’ve been led to ponder the mysterious significance that
pianos can have in the human psyche.

Due to limitations of space and funds for maintenance, a decision was made to
limit the university’s collection to the most valuable instruments. “Value” was
considered on the basis of an instrument’s historical uniqueness, its practical
utility for research and overall condition.

Yet “value”, as we know, can be understood in different ways."
