Why does this picture look like some bad Photoshopping?

BTW, not sure what make, but it IS as "square grand". Note how it has four legs in a rectangular pattern.

It's probably one of those giraffe-type upright thingees. It has been stretched though...

Thanks, Zorba for giving me a break from digging for pictures!

Here's my old Thompson upright (built in Chicago in the early part of the 20th century) Never refinished, but has some nice carving on the front.

First we had a piano with an aquarium built into it. Now we have one that is decorated like same - probably easier to keep in tune!

The Cherbourg piano sounds like an interesting story - I'd love to hear more if there's more to hear...


I've been searching the internet, but haven't been able to find anything. It is a fascinating story. HOpefully someone around here will have heard of it too. I may ask on PW as well.
