Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is stored in the center of a 20m x 20m x 15m storage center which no utilities or wiring less than 15m below. SCP-XXXX-1 is kept in a standard humanoid containment cell adjacent and connected to the SCP-XXXX storage area.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a custom-made upright piano made from a wood similar in looks to lightly colored oak. Shavings from SCP-XXXX show the wood to be unidentifiable.

The anomalous properties are triggered when a human plays the piano. When played, the person will exhibit extreme concern and frustration with the sound of SCP-XXXX, sometimes opening the lid and reaching inside to “fix it”. The severity of this hysteria is proportional to the amount of previous piano experience the subject has. When asked to describe their frustration, subjects usually use terms like "off" and "not right", but will never say any specifics about any of the qualities of the piano during and after playing.

If a subject plays more than 5 minutes, any matter other than SCP-XXXX and the subject within a 15m is "suspended". All matter is restricted to approx. 3 nanometers of movement, which allows for the retention of heat, but restriction of greater movement. This usually causing expiration to any biological matter in the radius due to lack of blood flow and brain function for extended periods of time. It is unknown how the subject can breathe with all oxygen particles suspended. Effects last a minimum of 30 seconds and up to 35 minutes, with subjects with more piano experience able to use it for longer.

SCP-XXXX-1 is a human male named James Perez. Records show it were born September 12th, 1992 and has no known living relatives. It claims to have built SCP-XXXX, but is unaware of it’s anomalous nature. SCP-XXXX-1 is able to play SCP-XXXX-1 for an indefinite amount of time unlike other subjects, but all other effects still apply. SCP-XXXX-1 displays a daily schedule which consists of 20 hours of playing and adjusting the internals of SCP-XXXX, or "on time", and 4 hours of "off time", mostly consisting of eating and sleeping. To date no fluctuations of this schedule has been recorded.

An interview with SCP-XXXX-1 was requested by Researcher Terrey on 28/2/22. Due to the non-anomalous nature of SCP-XXXX-1 when separated from SCP-XXXX, the request was approved.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1

Interviewer: Researcher Terrey

Interview #: #1

<Begin Log, 11/3/2022, 1533>

SCP-XXXX-1 is seen looking down while tapping its hands against its legs. Researcher Terrey enters the room and sits across from SCP-XXXX-1

Researcher Terrey: Hello XXXX.

No acknowledgment from SCP-XXXX-1

Researcher Terrey clears his throat

Researcher Terrey: So it says in your file you made SCP-XXXX-1, is that right?

SCP-XXXX-1 furrows its brow

Researcher Terrey: Sorry, I mean the piano you are working on.

SCP-XXXX-1 nods

Researcher Terrey: Do you know how long you've been working on it?

[pause]

SCP-XXXX-1: 2 years.

Researcher Terrey: Alright, have you noticed anything strange about your piano in these 2 years?

SCP-XXXX-1 nods again

Researcher Terrey: Could you elaborate?

SCP-XXXX-1: It's just sound, it's…

[pause]

SCP-XXXX-1: It's just not…

SCP-XXXX-1 leans forward puts its hands on its forehead

Researcher Terrey: I think I get it. We've noticed that you've been working on the piano for a bit, has that helped at all with this issue?

SCP-XXXX-1 looks up at Researcher Terrey for approximately 3 seconds, then puts its head into its hands. It was heard quietly crying shortly after.

<End Log>

The following three days after the interview, SCP-XXXX-1's daily schedule was seen to decrease each day, settling at 16 hours and 24 minutes of "on time". After this development, Researcher Terrey requested weekly sessions with SCP-XXXX-1. These sessions were approved on a week-by-week basis.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1

Interviewer: Researcher Terrey

Interview #: #4

<Begin Log, 4/4/2022, 1311>

SCP-XXXX-1 taps on the table while waiting. Researcher Terrey enters the room and sits across the table.

Researcher Terrey: Hello again, how are you today?

SCP-XXXX-1: Fine.

Researcher Terrey: And how's the work on the piano?

SCP-XXXX-1: Still just…

SCP-XXXX-1 runs its hands through its hair

SCP-XXXX-1: Its just not working still.

Researcher Terrey: So business as usual?

SCP-XXXX-1 chuckles lightly

SCP-XXXX-1: I guess so.

Researcher Terrey flips through the SCP-XXXX file

Researcher Terrey: So it seems it doesn't say it here, have you built any pianos before this?

SCP-XXXX-1 shakes its head

Researcher Terrey: And you haven't tried making more after either?

SCP-XXXX-1 shakes its head again

Researcher Terrey: May I ask why?

SCP-XXXX-1: What do you mean?

Researcher Terrey: I mean, have you tried starting fresh? Instead of fixing, try starting new?

SCP-XXXX-1 slightly shakes its head

SCP-XXXX-1: I just… I'm too far in.

Researcher Terrey: Could you elaborate on that?

SCP-XXXX-1: I've had my grip on this for so long I…

[pause]

SCP-XXXX-1: I need for this to work, I can't let go now, even if I want to, not after all of this time.

Researcher Terrey: I see.

<End Log>

Two days after Interview #4, SCP-XXXX-1's "on time" started slightly decreasing, averaging at a 8 minutes decrease per day, and decreasing ~15 minutes on Researcher Terrey's weekly interviews with SCP-XXXX-1. This trend continued for 8 weeks, plateauing at 7 hours and 54 minutes.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1

Interviewer: Researcher Terrey

Interview #: #12

<Begin Log, 30/5/2022, 1137>

SCP-XXXX-1 sits in the interview room, slowly tapping one finger on the table. Researcher Terrey walks in and sits across from it.

Researcher Terrey: Hello James.

SCP-XXXX-1 looks up at Researcher Terrey

SCP-XXXX-1: Hello.

Researcher Terrey glances at SCP-XXXX's file

Researcher Terrey: So it looks like you’re under 8 hours.

SCP-XXXX-1: If that’s what you say, I don’t exactly have a clock.

Researcher Terrey: Well, I’ve noticed that in the last few interviews you’ve been a bit disinterested with it.

SCP-XXXX-1: Really?

Researcher Terrey: Maybe that was the wrong word, you seem to be less interested in the sound than before.

SCP-XXXX-1: Well, I still want to fix it, don’t get wrong.

Researcher Terrey: Why?

SCP-XXXX-1 thinks for a moment

SCP-XXXX-1: Well… there was a tree back at home. As a child, I used to sit under it, and everything just felt… peaceful. Still.

[pause

SCP-XXXX-1: It fell over. I couldn’t see it go, so I decided to make that my first project.

Researcher Terrey: Is this your first time mentioning this?

SCP-XXXX-1: I try not to focus on it. If I do, I’m afraid might go back to sleepless nights, 20 hour sessions.

[pause]

Researcher Terrey: Do you enjoy working on it 8 hours a day?

[pause]

SCP-XXXX-1: No

Researcher Terrey: Do you enjoy working on it at all?

[longer pause]

SCP-XXXX-1 shakes it head

Researcher Terrey: I guess I'll ask again, why, after 2 years, do you still continue working on that piano?

[pause]

SCP-XXXX-1: I don't know.

<End Log>

After Interview #12, all anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 ceased. Reclassification of Object Class to Neutralized is pending approved and the release of SCP-XXXX-1 with Class C Amnestics and Essential Memory Recontextualization is pending.
