Creating new futures for pianos. Old pianos remade into new instruments

  • Fishermans Bend Circular Design Collective Munro Street (opposite #80 between Montague and Johnson Streets)South Melbourne, VIC Australia South Melbourne, VIC, 3205 Australia (map)

Join us to celebrate circular design + music

This event is part of a collaborative project between Pianos Recycled, local artisans and furniture and design students from Holmesglen TAFE, supported by FB IDEAs.

Pianos Recycled have developed a lap steel guitar, thumb piano, and Cajon drums prototypes, all created from resources recovered from unwanted pianos.

Everyone with an interest in creativity, climate action, and sustainability is invited to come along and look, feel and play these instruments, plus share ideas for speeding up progress towards circularity through music (and imagination).

There will be instrument demonstrations, some impromptu jamming and we can discuss the importance of finding new value from unwanted resources.

Pianos Recycled will also be sharing the results of their work showing that resource recovery, re-use, redesign and repurposing has the potential to create 56x more jobs than recycling and landfill while identifying key challenges in getting there (and to circularity).

It’s FREE, but registrations are required.

REGISTER NOW

Pianos Recycled is a circular economy social enterprise with a mission to divert unwanted pianos from landfill and create new futures for them.

You can find out more about the project supported by FB IDEAs on the Piano Transformation Challenge page.
