About

Set upright piano (not a grand) in an open space with the lid closed.

Spill a little lighter fluid on a twist of paper and place inside, near the pedals.

Light it.

Balloons may be stapled to the piano.

Play whatever pleases you for as long as you can.

Piano Burning is part of the Piano Transplants series.
