I'd love to arrange a huge world trip and catalogue the pianos and stories to the full extent and publish the whole lot as a book, DVD and website, but seriously it would cost a bit, but it is an accident waiting to happen, just $$ preventing it:-)

Vera Lynn played the piano to her daughter Virginia in her London flat in 1948.
Seventy years after she first stepped into a recording studio, Lynn, 92, is at the top of Britain’s album chart. (Matthew Fearn/ AP/ Pool)

So there are some brick pianos after all...

This is a well known top-end brick piano


Then there is the run-of-the-mill everyday brick piano


This brick piano is for those than cannot easily afford one in their home...


This piano is in the process of converting to a brick piano!


This hapless pianist has taken the extreme measure of attaching his piano to a brick...


For dreamers, those that peer into shop windows with reflection about what they might have had, or have.


The Chattanooga street furniture is my favorite:

The Piano and Harpsichord played with an Organ

The Devtronix midi record/play system lives in the console. The relay incorporates midi interface cards which are activated by "piano" stop tabs to play a 7'-6" Yamaha DC7F Disklavier grand piano (whose volume can be controlled by the swell pedals). A 7' harpsichord (8' & 4' stops) with electric action I built is playable from all manuals.

Pool at Disney HongKong Hollywood Hotel
The whimsical piano-shaped pool, complete with keys, in the center of the garden will feature a waterslide built into a rock where several “Hidden Mickeys” will inspire young “on the lookout” guests. Next to the pool, a whirlpool will relax and rejuvenate guests. “

Nottingham Riverside Festival August 2009
I saw this crazy nun on a motorised piano playing church music in the distance getting louder as he appeared. Made me cry with laughter this was hilarious.

Interesting desk on this artcase Knabe

Sigh... Vangelis, Photoshop and the Eiffel tower.

Grandest Canyon Concert
On September 18, 1979, after 20 years of imaging, Marden Abadi organized a team of forty people to help carry his one and a half ton rosewood grand piano to the rim of the Grand Canyon so that he could play selections from Debussy, Gershwin, Chopin, and of course Grofe’s “Grand Piano Suite” before several hundred people. And in that suit.

A film about Chopin shot in Duszniki Park
Between the 24th and 25th of August a “TV Project” filming crew realised a shooting of a film about Frederic Chopin. The realisation has been commisionned by the Office of Chopin Year 2010 Celebration. The shots took place in Chopin’s Manor, Park and the residence of Foundation of International Chopin Piano Festivals in Duszniki Zdrój. We invited the pianist Krzysztof Trzaskowski and dancers of Wrocław Opera House Ballet, Paulina Woś and Tomasz Kęczkowski with their choreagrapher dr Bożena Klimczak, to take part in production.

Can anyone read the piano brand?

I think it says "Belarus" which means 'white Russia'.
