Piano picture of the day

A turn of the century beauty from Ibach. Note the inset pictures of the case carvings.

The Olympia, an art case Steinway designed by Dale Chihuly for the 2002 Olympics.

It was also featured on The Genuine Article, TV show Tivo recorded for me that shows how Steinways are made.

The last time I went past there, this piano was in the window of the Steinway dealer in Seattle (which is one block down from Alex's store).
