This kid has the right idea - but he really needs to lose the silly jacket. At least he isn't wearing a necktie!

I don't usually post in this thread, though I often look at the really cool pics the regular posters have found. I'd like to contribute this Dale Chihuly work:

Donna Bath "En hommage a Dale Chihuly" 7.5" x 14" x 10.5" "When this artcase piano was on tour, I attended a recital on it at the St. Petersburg Museum of Art. It was no surprise that the performing artist performed the entire recital with her eyes shut! Dale Chihuly is noted for his extraordinary glass creations and the lid of this 9' Steinway Concert Grand was actually stained glass with cut-outs on the bottom side of the lid so light would show throught when the lid was up."   | |||

I've never seen tuning pins at an angle like this one!   Weinstein pianos were made in the Philipines. The slanted pinblock model was marketed as a piano that would need less tunings! Other models have 2 steel strings for the tenor section.

How was it to tune, Ron? | |||

Wondering the same. Looks like that angle would offer some advantage for turning the hammer.

Ach, wasn't me - someone else on the PTG list! He said that there were the expecting string rendering issues, but didn't mind the angle. I think it would be hard for me - I don't like to tune with an unsupported arm. The little Zwicki upright that I tune is another step from this one - the pins point straight up! I lube the strings where they go over the plate every year or so to help the strings render.
