Santa's Magic Piano The Elves feet stamp out a tune.
This lovely toy came from the New York Toy Fair around 1995. You place the little piano - it is an Elfway by the way - onto the keys of a normal piano, and when you switch the little piano on, the little feet at the bottom press down on the piano keys, and stamp out a tune.

Piano Architecture
To fit the styling of the Royal Ontario Museum, if you see pics of the museum you will see the likeness... I don't know if the piano project is completed - has anyone seen it yet?

Rendering by Studio Daniel Libeskind

Three 16-foot-long (five-metre) specialty models will be made, as well as a small number of seven-foot (two-metre) grands based on the same design.

Libeskind designed only the exterior case; the interior works will be essentially the same as in a normal grand.

“It’s a piano to be played, but also to be admired as a piece of architecture,” Lowrey said.

Let's just say this is the real BIG DAD. I have a Bösendorfer Imperial Grand Piano - you fit two of these in BIG DAD...

An interesting "extra"

That is an extra I wouldn't mind myself for my piano. I use the laptop to play the other part of the Rachmaninoff 2-piano Romance I am learning.

Now everyone can make their own Grand Piano

A very interesting item from the time. Thank Goddess the "Cigarette Culture" is largely gone. Now "we as a team" just need to rid ourselves of the remaining "Booze Culture" which is enabling the "Drug Culture" - a "gateway drug" if you will.

Booze Piano
Usually a piano full of booze would surprise me, but after walking along the streets of Amsterdam on Queen’s Day, it was not unexpected. On the walk over to our boat, we passed the usual scenes of this national day of togetherness.
