Each component of the piano is drawn out to scale on a sheet of graph paper, which is then spray-mounted on a sheet of foamed PVC. Each piece is carefully cut out with a scalpel.

The piano is painted with acrylic paint. The wood grain effect is achieved by using an older brush on which some of the bristles have clumped together, providing a streakiness that mimics a wood grain.

The white keys are added as a single strip of PVC, scored to pick out individual keys. The black keys are added individually. The ‘wood’ is painted with a clear acrylic medium, to provide a polished effect. The pedals, hinge, and plaque are cut from thin sheets of brass.
