Now that you mention it - I didn't look for 'em, but there they are! Kinda cool. Here's a "Moscow" made by the Russian piano builder "Lira":

Another Ronisch. This one seems to have a problem with its fallboard, but the wood sure is pretty!

Keep running across 'em, this time a Ronisch upright:

Just what I've been looking for, a Greek piano:  Anyone know anything about it aside from it being fugly?

Not familiar with this brand, it has some intersting casework and isn't a continental:

And that's just a BAD shade of pink, plus its an ugly continental! I'll pass, thanx! But this beauty can be yours for only 9000 euro:  A pedal for every reason and every season...

What's with all the pedals?  Mostly about adding tone color. Sometimes it involves adding: mute rail zither rail (think of little metal discs between the hammers and strings for a plinky sound) ??? Pyramid piano:

Wait, here's another:  Grand piano by Anton Martin Thÿm, Vienna, ca. 1815. Seven pedals: una corda, harp, bassoon, damper, strong moderator, medium moderator, and Janissary (bells and bass drum). Such special effects were popular in Vienna at the time, particularly among upper-class young ladies, who were expected to provide music to entertain their guests. The purpleheart case has an inlaid ebony/fruitwood edging that depicts a red vine with sunflowers and leaves, strings of red beads with an ink drawing of a woman's face in the center, and grapes and grape leaves. The vertical moldings contain three images--a portrait of a woman, a profile of a man, and a lyre. The piano is held up by four Nubian slaves with long, gold-painted turbans. The pedal support, also gold-painted, is in the shape of a fountain, supported by the tails of two dolphins.

Ummmm... Methinks that is a harpsichord, not a piano... The transverse bar aft of the tuning pins looks remarkably like a jackrail. It would be very unusual to have pedals on a classic harpsichord -- usually stops were operated with handlevers or kneelevers, although Wanda Landowska's "revival" harpsichords had pedals so that stops could be operated without removing one's hands from the keys.
