Note the inverted key colors...

Perhaps this is some kind of harpsichord?

Another piano that sat on eagles-as-legs was this S&S that used to be in the Whitehouse. (Sorry about the poor picture quality.)

I'd say that's exactly what it is.

This was found one somebody's travelogue site. It's supposedly Brahms's piano. If it is a piano. Which I doubt. Clavichord? Note reversed colored keys.

This should be a zorba-approved one!

Sorry for the size, but I've lost the ability at "this location" to resize and post pictures. I can't even see the stuff from imageshack or any file-sharing place anymore!

I'm not too keen on one piece fallboards like this one has...

... but I'd suffer, none the less!

Consider this piano officially "Zorba Approved"!
