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.

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

Love the dress. Unfortunately, I don't have the requisite anatomy to wear it.

Brian BecroftThis 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!).

Brian Becroft Perhaps one of the 7 Wonders of the piano world....
In 1901 Charles Rennie Mackintosh, now Glasgow’s most famous architect, entered a German-based competition to design a ‘Grand Residence for an Art Lover’.

The piano is an instrument to produce sound, when not in use is silent but still has sound potential.
One little correction - produces MUSIC!

Brian BecroftMost 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.
