Piano Mill

A Piano Mill is a hybrid building and musical instrument located at Willsons Downfall in Northern New South Wales, Australia.

[1] The first Piano Mill, constructed in Willsons Downfall, Northern New South Wales, Australia, was designed by architect Bruce Wolfe specifically for composer Erik Griswold.

[2] This structure is a copper clad tower approximately 9m tall with a footprint of 4.5m X 4.5m and its lowest floor is 1.6m above the ground allowing the pianos to be installed post-construction.

[3] The mill is equipped with tuned grader blades as chimes and two sonic periscopes.

[4][5] It was performed in the Piano Mill on Sunday March 27, 2016, and since that time there have been two subsequent pieces written for the instrument.
