This one's not too unusual - but check out the angles and the square tail.

Very nice. Thanks. I like that square one - at the top of the page - what is it? | |||

The big grand with the square tail? It's a Steingraeber. Just came across it in my surfing... How about another fancy upright?

OK, Ron, at the risk of asking a stupid question - or rather two stupid questions - Are all Steingrabers shaped that way? Is there a reason for that shape, other than being unique? | |||

Gee, those aren't stupid questions.... but judging from their website, they embrace "unusual"  I'm on the wrong side of the pond to have seen any, maybe I can do some digging tomorrow.

I've heard the toy piano guy. There's also a guy in Seattle, Hokum W. Jeebs, who plays toy piano and tuba at the same time. Back in the '50's and early '60's there was a jazz pianist named Marty Paitch who headed a piano quartet. On one of their albums each pianist had an acoustic grand, an electric piano (I think) and a toy piano. There's a picture of the studio setup on the album cover. Pete Jolly, one of my all-time fave pianists, was a member of the quartet.

It looks like there is more than one toy piano artist out there:

I've just noticed that it's time for my 200th post here at WTF  Don't tell me YOU don't have room to fit a piano in YOUR house....  Yes, it's a trailer, with the kitchen in the foreground and the bedroom in the background.

They've got their priorities straight, at any rate. Extremely limited space and they still choose to squeeze in a piano. | |||

I'm almost tempted to post a picture of my one room appartement (with grand piano, upright piano, digital piano and several other musical instruments). At least I know that I got my priorities straight as well... Ron, congrats concerning your 200ths post! Still a long way to go for me. Jens | |||
