A trip to a tip store inspired a series of events, which led to a decorated piano being donated to the city for the love of music.
Whitsunday Anglican Year-11 student Clancy Morgan found a disused piano at the IncredableTip Shop at Paget. She started to play the instrument and noticed people gathering to have a listen, and thought it was wonderful to see people come together over a tune.
Clancy’s vision was born to restore the old beauty back to its former glory, with some colourful artistic additions. With the help of a $1990 Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) grant and teachers at Whitsunday Anglican School, the piano underwent a transformation and many tune-ups to play sweet music once again.
As part of the City Heart Friday evening’s event, ‘Keys of Mackay’ was officially launched in front of an enthusiastic crowd on Wood Street who had gathered to listen to Whitsunday Anglican pianists perform.
Now based in the heart of Mackay, with the ability to be moved to other locations throughout the region, the old piano has a new lease on life, bringing joy to a wider audience.
