15 Photographs of Pianos That Really Tell A Story

For your delight, today we have some stunning images of pianos that embrace musicality and really successfully tell a story – be it the engineering feat of these complex instruments, or the joy experienced by those who play and listen.

Telling a story is a fundamental part of photography. Strong images can captivate our attention and can truly convey a message.

We've had pianos since the eighteenth century, and they have brought us aesthetic experiences visually and, of course, musically. They are complex machines that sound like nothing else on the planet when played by the proper hands.

Like music, successful photography transports us through sensory experience and telling a compelling story is a crucial part of that experience. 

Pianos come in varying shapes and sizes, and they all have a particular visual appeal. So, today we bring you compelling images of beautiful pianos!

Love the idea – I’ve played the piano for over 65 years! – but I suspect some of those instruments may be electronic keyboards or organs (not pianos).

For a long while I had a desire to have a harpsichord too – but because of their wood frame, keeping them tuned all the time is a bit of a problem.
