This is something called a "Strich & Zeildler" (New York), and features Greek carvings. Way, way cool.

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 not one for black pianos in general - I like woodgrain and lots of it! This said, this one definately pegs the Zorbometer:

Yes! The one I posted was in some Wm. Morris musuem. With your photo - now, I can see it. Rather lovely, pre-arts & crafts lines - to heck with the sound!

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.... Mad

Oh yeah! Didn't think about that!

I like the mermaid one too - wonder if there's a similar one with a Belly Dancer? I'll model! ThumbsUp
