In a deserted former department store near the port of Leith in Edinburgh, Tim Vincent-Smith reaches inside a grand piano's open top, his fingertips lightly plucking at the taut strings. The piano is one of hundreds rescued by the musician and his team of volunteers, as homes around Britain discard the instruments in favour of more space. "I discovered that there were loads of pianos going to the dump and so I started making furniture –- a window seat and a kind of high bed with a staircase -- and then the pianos just kept on coming," he tells AFP.
