Around eight years ago, when I first started photographing abandoned buildings and objects, I fell in love with photographing abandoned pianos. Since then, I haven’t stopped photographing this beautiful instrument. I can honestly say that I’ve been drawn even more towards it. It’s amazing to imagine the music that would have once played in these decaying places. Pianos are so beautiful—I love their shape and how they are crafted. When I want to unwind, I always listen to piano music. It’s so relaxing, and when I know there is a piano in the building I’m photographing, it’s the first thing I run off to. It’s my favorite instrument.

The pianos in this post have been shot all over the world in different types of buildings. I’ve visited hotels, houses, castles, schools, garages, hospitals, palaces and Chernobyl to photograph them.

I hate sanatoriums. And what is that stuff on the floor?

This hurts to look at. I have an antique piano myself, and I treasure it. Pianos create so much beautiful energy, and give us so much joy when we play them, it's almost like they have souls. So sad to see these grand old instruments abandoned. They look like they're waiting for their owners to come back. If I could only take one stick of furniture from my home, it would be my old piano.

Make sure you mention the country, not its region. The country in this case is Georgia.

Everyone should watch a current film about Chernobyl then you can understand the State of this room.

You know sometimes I wonder how people just leave marvelous baby grands behind. Like that's a waste of money. Even if it's unplayable they still look bomb and can always be sold for parts.
