Piano picture of the day

I don't really see the fascination with "Darth Piano," either. Maybe they're supposed to be intimidating. Give me visible wood any day.

I have certainly seen some fine looking instruments that just happened to be black. But I'd take white(ish) over black, and woodgrain over either.

"Darth Piano"...

I *like* it! I'll file that away for future use!

On the other hand, I detest white cars with a passion, and wish my blue Mercedes-Benz was either black or green...

Perhaps we can negotiate a trade. I wish mine was blue...

How many of us started to play at a grandparent's house?

This picture looks like it belongs in a Rockwell book:

Now THAT most definitely pegs the ZorbaMeter!

You'd never have to worry about the lyre coming loose on this one. Way cool! When can I expect delivery?

I think it is Gryphon's Dilemma. He was always complaining about going on lengthy business trips and not having access to a piano while travelling.

(IIRC, he paid an electronix engineering firm to surgically shorten a Yamaha keyboard so it would fit in an overhead bin or something like that.)
