You'd better not drop anything on the piano; no I won't move it. Don't mess up the rugs, either - I just had them cleaned.

(Love this thread - thanks everyone!)

Yes, and straighten that lampshade you knocked askew while you're at it...

Doesn't the first photo look like the piano has only two legs?

Lots of beauties there, OT - but this one takes the cake! So VERY cool....

Sometimes I just find myself trolling through Google images and feel the need to share...

Yeah, Zorba, if I had to pick just one art case pianer, it would be that one.
