Wife wanted a new sink and counter for her new music studio where she teaches piano. We had her teaching at home until it got to big with our youngest daughter teaching some as well. Got to 60 students and had to get them out. Bought a house around the corner on a main street, gutted and finished the basement as her studio and needed a kitchenette.
My wife has always taught on a grand piano, bought our daughter a cheap one that never held a tune and spent more tuning than what it was worth. When we moved to the studio the cheap one wasn't welcome so I had to do something.
I gutted the strings/harp, pulled the keys and mechanisms and went to work. It used to be faded white when I started. Found a bowl sink and black taps, glued pieces together that weren't and split others that were to make drawer fronts for drawers I hand made with drawer glides. after many hours here it is in my shop with a bunch of dust from sitting to long waiting to move over to the studio.
I thought of using the pedals as the hot and cold water controls but would have gotten too complicated.
