Three Little Pigs
Can't say I have seen a brick piano before, but then again I have never searched for one and the world is a big place! I did just post a granite piano...

So there are some brick pianos after all...

This is a well known top-end brick piano


Then there is the run-of-the-mill everyday brick piano


This brick piano is for those than cannot easily afford one in their home...


This piano is in the process of converting to a brick piano!


This hapless pianist has taken the extreme measure of attaching his piano to a brick...


For dreamers, those that peer into shop windows with reflection about what they might have had, or have.


The Chattanooga street furniture is my favorite:

The Piano and Harpsichord played with an Organ

The Devtronix midi record/play system lives in the console. The relay incorporates midi interface cards which are activated by "piano" stop tabs to play a 7'-6" Yamaha DC7F Disklavier grand piano (whose volume can be controlled by the swell pedals). A 7' harpsichord (8' & 4' stops) with electric action I built is playable from all manuals.

Believe it or not, this is a glass Piano Foot

Pool at Disney HongKong Hollywood Hotel
The whimsical piano-shaped pool, complete with keys, in the center of the garden will feature a waterslide built into a rock where several “Hidden Mickeys” will inspire young “on the lookout” guests. Next to the pool, a whirlpool will relax and rejuvenate guests. “

Sound Sculpture – Inside The 100 Foot Piano
Sound and Visual artist An-Ting Chung has created her third sound exhibition. Sponsored in part by the National Culture and Arts Foundation in Taiwan, this one is a sound sculpture entitled Inside The 100 Foot Piano. Here she has the piano’s 88 notes represented by 88 loudspeakers arranged in an acoustical landscape whose perimeter is over 280 feet, hence the exhibition’s title. Ms. Chung’s strategic positioning of the loudspeakers, and placement of the audience inside this sound-field result in a three dimensional listening experience in which music comes alive as never before, where each note seems to ‘glow’ with life, and the ensemble of notes as a whole seem to journey through a panorama of space. It is simply an unbelievable listening experience, way beyond surround sound.

The music source in this exhibition is a high definition digital audio recreation of the famous 1955 recording of pianist Glenn Gould’s performance of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, made possible with software developed by Zenph Studios technology.

The 100 Foot Piano

Well, this intriqued me, especially not understanding what the 100 ft meant when it is 88 speaker stations.

I read further...this from the artist herself.

"In a concert piano the strings representing notes are spaced less than one inch apart. In my exhibition they are spaced six feet apart, with each piano note assigned to its own speaker, and all speakers arrayed in a 60 foot by 50 foot matrix honeycomb centered in the 80 foot by 60 foot Legacy studio A-509. This configuration and the superb acoustics of A-509 allow me to tune each individual speaker for an optimal reproduction of the note assigned to it, the outcome of which process gives rise to each note clearly and somewhat mystically occupying its own space in this vast sculpture, yet collectively the notes of the composition form motion in time throughout the space

As Mr. Gould’s fingers dance across triplets, the music too seems to dance through the room and the audience. It is truly a listening experience never before heard...."

So, I wonder where one stands?
How many in a room at one time, and if that would effect the production/listening aspects.

Aaaaaw...

I saw this crazy nun on a motorised piano playing church music in the distance getting louder as he appeared. Made me cry with laughter this was hilarious.

Interesting desk on this artcase Knabe

International Chopin & Friends Festival
Painting by Ismena Halkiewicz
Crikey, the painter (or is it the pianist...) got a bit carried away here don't you think?

Sigh... Vangelis, Photoshop and the Eiffel tower.
