Piano picture of the day

If you ever come to the east coast, I'll take you to Zimmans. You'd go nuts!

I like the piano with the tractor-like driver's seat. Why don't you ever see Steinways in crappy makeovers like this?

Hey, I have an idea. Put a big Steinway up there ahead of the tractor, with a nice Steinway logo on the side. Then see how much "The Instrument of the Immortals" will pay you not to drive it around.

Here's another look at that Pleyel double piano from way back near the beginning of this thread:

It would be a little LESS than double, as I offer a multi-piano tuning discount. (something Rick might be able to appreciate...) As tradition-bound as tuning is, using a Verituner is the only way to go for duo-piano tunings. Let the machine do all the heavy lifting.

Hmmmm... has anyone done much research on composite soundboards? It seems you could get a very consistent production of a plastic "membrane" as a soundboard. And since you can't even see the soundboard in an upright...I'm surprised the Japanese haven't jumped on this.

I'm outta sight behind the whole mess - I was trying to be helpful and push, but my veil wrapped itself around the rear wheel of the wagon and I was trying to get it untangled at the time the pix was taken. Now I gotta get all that mud off my silks....

OK, that little cutie can't be a conventional piano and it looks old as well. What is it? Are those fundtional strings on the lyre, or just decor?

I dunno. Sprachen de Deusch? It was found on a German site...
