New Zealand at the Venice Biennale
He Korero Purakau mo Te Awanui o Te Motu - Story of a New Zealand River (the carved piano)

This Steinway D Concert Grand Piano has been heavily carved in the Maori tradition, I am not yet sure of the story or meaning of the actual carving. The piano internals have been extensively changed and re-designed. It probably *could* be called a Jenkin-Steinway - http://www.jenkinpiano.com/

Is that a Steinway? Was the carving done by a Maori?

Apparently, those white Sohmers are made of catnip:
