Instructions:

Note: You will need to also buy an axe to make this piano if you don't already have one.

This piano is built in four tiles as shown in the diagram below:

Tile I is the Southwest tile, Tile II is the Northwest tile, Tile III is the Northeast tile, and Tile IV is the Southeast tile. These instructions are divided by tile number.

Tile I:

1. Place a writing desk with the back facing South (if you don't already own one, an interior decorator tool, purchased from an architect in a carpentry shop, is a valuable tool for placing objects so that they're facing the correct direction).

2. Stack three individual fish steaks on top of it (one at a time).

3. Stack a crate on top of the fish steaks.

4. Put two pieces of Cloth C and two pieces of Cloth D inside the crate.

5. Click on the writing desk and drag it onto your paperdoll (the large image of your character), then let go of it (it will snap back into place and everything will lower).

6. Destroy the crate with an axe.

7. Lock the cloth down.

8. Put another crate on top of everything.

9. Put two pieces of Cloth C and two pieces of Cloth D inside the crate.

10. Drag the writing desk onto your paperdoll and let it snap back.

11. Destroy the crate with the axe.

12. Lock the cloth and the writing desk down.

13. Put two pieces of Cloth C on top of everything.

14. Put one piece of Cloth D on top of that.

15. Lock both types of cloth down.

Tile II:

1. Place three fancy shirts, one at a time.

2. Lock them all down.

Tile III:

1. Place a writing desk with the back facing South.

2. Place the body sash beneath the writing desk (it will show between the desk's East facing legs).

3. Place three individual fish steaks on top of the desk (stack them one at a time).

4. Put two pieces of Cloth C on top of that.

5. Put a wooden crate on top of everything.

6. Open the crate, and place inside it one chessboard, two pieces of Cloth A, two pieces of Cloth C, two more pieces of cloth A, and another chessboard.

7. Drag the writing desk onto your paperdoll and let it snap back.

8. Lock down the writing desk and the cloth.

9. Destroy the crate with the axe.

10. Lock down the visible cloth and chessboard.

11. Leave your house completely (you must walk off your porch) and then go back inside.

12. The positions of the cloth and chessboards should have changed so that a different Cloth A and Chessboard are visible. You may have to repeat leaving your house if the visible cloth and chessboard are not the unlocked ones.

13. Lock down the now-visible cloth and chessboard.

14. Put two pieces of Cloth B and two pieces of Cloth C on top of everything.

15. Drag the pieces of Cloth B onto your paperdoll and let them snap back.

16. Lock both types of cloth down.

17. Put two pieces of Cloth C and one piece of Cloth A on top of everything.

18. Lock both types of cloth down.

19. Place a fancy shirt on top of everything.

20. Place the oil cloth on top of it.

21. Drag the fancy shirt onto your paperdoll and let it snap back (this will not work if your character is topless; it will just attempt to wear the fancy shirt).

22. Lock the shirt and oil cloth down.

Tile IV:

1. Place a writing desk with the back facing South.

2. Follow steps 3 through 18 from Tile III.

Now you should have something that looks like a piano (except for the fish steaks - leave them alone and they will decay and disappear over time)... You can put whatever you like on top of the piano; I suggest a small candelabra. Place a bench or stool in front of the piano keys, and you're done!
