The Keaton Music Typewriter was first patented in 1936 (14 keys) by Robert H. Keaton from San Francisco, California. A 33 key version (pictured) was released in 1953. The machine types on a sheet of paper lying flat under the typing mechanism.

This one really shocked me...since we usually see Brahms in his later years.

Handsome.

European countryside mural
This European countryside mural was done out by Red Mountain in a beautiful castle-like stone home. This is in the front room behind the most beautiful piano I’ve ever seen (or played!).

Inventions: The Piano That Tunes Itself
Most musicians can tune their instruments whenever they like. The exception is the pianist, who typically isn’t trained to tune the piano’s 200-plus strings. Instead, both amateur and professional piano players must hire a technician to get their instrument in shape. But Don Gilmore has accomplished an engineering feat that he says could do away with the need for tuners: a self-tuning piano.
