Parsova Piano Project

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Brant Beach NJ was damaged by hurricane Sandy and did not have flood insurance. They turned a damaged upright piano into a fundraiser. They dismantled the piano and made jewelry from the keys, the inner mechanisms and wires.

The “ivory” keys were cut up and waterslide decals with images of Barnegat Lighthouse, stained glass windows and LBI slogans were applied and coated with resin. After soaking off the hide glue, some of the hinges were painted to look like cats and bunnies and made into pins and earrings. The copper from the copper wound steel piano wires, were removed, cut up and imbedded in resin along with LBI beach sand and used coffee grounds and made into pendants.So far the Parsova (parts of a) Piano Project has generated in the neighborhood of $3000 towards the cost of church restoration.
