well, under a cairn on a mountain should have been a perfect hiding place...

Were you ever intending to go back for it before it rotted away?

Maybe it's like the delicacy 'the 100 year egg'. It just needed to ripen a bit more.

How in God's name did someone carry a piano strapped to their back up a mountain, even if it was half-sized??

According to BBC News this morning at least two people have done it before as a charity gig - someone had sent photos to teh BReakfast team of this bloke hiking up in 70s sytle kit with a piano strapped to his back.

Do they make special half-size pianos for this very purpose?

There was a piano factory in Co Clare twenty or more years back, that made extra-lightweight pianos. The idea was to export them, through nearby Shannon Airport; hence the desire for lightness. They used aluminium frames, instead of the standard iron piano frame.
So far so good; only they sounded absolutely woe-geous.

What gobsmacked me about this is that I actually *own* an upright grand piano and believe me, moving it, even a few feet, is not a job for the faint-hearted. It has a bloody great big cast iron frame in the middle of it that was probably once the heart of the Arizona meteorite. There were three of us on it and hafter half an hour the conversation sounded like bernard Cribbins should have been singing it: 'Right', said FM, 'we'll have to take the door off...'
