Someone ought to sample those sounds.

Old pianos, or their parts, have been a part of foley for ages. Plenty of foley studios have parts of pianos lying around, for example, the piano harp.

Do you know the sound that the TARDIS makes when it materializes? Part of that sound is someone at the BBC radiophonic workshop scraping a wrench against the strings on a harp from a disassembled piano.

A lot of the classic horror noises are made by people monkeying around inside pianos.

I wish someone would - they would make a great addition to a discordant soundtrack.

"What do you play?"
