We're constantly amazed at the insanely crazy creative ways people re-make their old, well-loved possessions (or lucky flea market finds) into completely new pieces. Do-overs like this one proves just as art lives on forever, so can the instruments used to create it. A piano on it's way to the dump found new life in the offices of a music industry design house.

Certain events are like a rite of passage. Like your Sweet Sixteen, or your first legal drink, or your first apartment... when you bought that really cute but really uncomfortable desk chair.
