The “Walden Woods” piano, a Steinway & Sons grand piano inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s seminal 1854 work, has been purchased by a Marlborough couple and will reside in a private home for the first time.
The Walden Woods Project, led by Eagles drummer Don Henley, commissioned the piano in 2007 as a way to raise awareness for conservation efforts at Walden Pond, where the transcendentalist lived and worked for two years, two months, and two days in seclusion.
Artist Silas Kopf designed the piano, fashioning wood inlays depicting local flora and Thoreau himself using wood indigenous to Walden Woods and other areas of New England.
