I've seen this guy at most of the arts festivals in Seattle. I never thought the piano looked like a mini... but next time I see him, I'll count his octaves. He may have more than one. It does look narrow compared to the player.

He frequently leaves the piano unattended at festivals. I've been tempted to sit down and bash out a few tunes, but haven't gotten up the nerve. There's no sign on it that says "don't play this piano." On the other hand, it's the guy's personal instrument. You wouldn't just pick up someone else's saxophone and start playing, now, would you?

BTW, note the angle of the hill... this isn't even a very steep hill for Seattle. I hope he's got good brakes on those casters.

Gettin' kinda personal there, aren't you? Do you let just anyone count your octaves?!

I've never seen a reporducing grand with manual pedals before.



This one is a Rönisch "Tri-Phonola" art case, don't know the year.

Oooo, loverly. Roll Eyes Well, at least he had good taste in piano brands.

Hey Chick - I posted your piano about 15 or 20 pages back, but I guess you're ignoring me.

After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF.

I have to admit, as a Belly Dancer, that I find Liberace's costumes very attractive and interesting. Oh to be sure, he wore way too much and they didn't look very comfortable, but shiny, sparkely things draw anyone involved in my dance form.

I even have an affinity for his candelabra, but I balance mine on my head while dancing (traditional Egyptian Wedding dance, the "Zeffa"), not just set it on the piano!

Here's a pix of my latest - with my piano to keep it on topic. My tuner has my action until next Wednesday, so no piano playing for this boy!

Zorba, WOW! You even have toenails to match the costume.

Wow! That's pretty spectacular. Do those wings melt when you get too close to the sun, though?

Can you imagine if we had a gigantic WTF party showcasing everyone's talents. We could have OT singing (and leading the choir Smiler ), Zorba dancing, an art exhibit of Kenny's, Jodi's and Apple's paintings, Mary Anna doing a reading from her latest book, the Duo Scarbo performing, Steve Miller doing a This-Old-House presentation and of course lots of ad libbing.
