Pray do not ask us to explain the overnight apparition of musical instruments, for we b'aint be having the scientifical book-learning that they be teaching the young-uns at the Academy. We are content to know the when and the where. If pressed we will hum and haw and shuffle our brogued feet and mutter some vitalist, pre-scientific nonsense about mycelia permeating the soil.*
The hoity-toity savants from the Academy in their fine robes are free to scoff. They would have us believe that pianos don't sprout, they fall from the sky during thunderstorms and meteor showers and embed themselves in the soil. Next they will be telling us that Fernyture is really made in factories.
The piano is classified under 314.122 in the Hornbostel-Sachs system.** So far I am unable to ascertain the number for horns in the Pianobostel-Sachs classification.

Well do I understand the value of the simple farmer to society, toiling day in and day out from sunrise to sunset to plant and grow and nurture and finally harvest the chairs and tables and shelves and even those counterweighted stands we use to hold our flatscreen teevees in an upright position.
But let us not forget the unsung heroes of the furniture farm, the nearly naked ice-skater who is committed to testing each newly harvested piece for function and comfort. Clad only in the most boring and conservative underpants, these dedicated souls test hundreds of variations of chairs and tables in between toe loops, lutzes and salchows.
It is a sight to behold, and we, as a nation dedicated to spending our days and nights sitting on our asses, are grateful....
It's the harvesting I don't understand. Once you've filled your bucket with pianos you have a very flat bucket and the pianos fall out.
Maybe it's like organ harvesting and they use something sturdier such as a bath tub.
I think the piano-gatherers strap them to their bicycles.

Can't fool me.
Obviously that is a triggered zombie trap. Looks to me like it fell from about thirty feet.
Across the equator, the simple farmers of Texas have been domesticating some of the native growth.
Here be actual photographs, rather than mere illustrations of chair (or door) growth.

I didn't know zombies were so musical!
How does the trap know if the zombie has been triggered?
I suspect that a gin-trap would be more effective.
In July the sun is hot
Is it shining?
No, it's not!
Freezing, wet December - then
Bloody January again!
B^4: I didn't know zombies were so musical!
Like a mouse organ?

Earlier stage of door development.
Mouse organs are too small. You eat them for hours, and you are still hungry.
