Here, regulate THIS!

An early Fender Rhodes:

NMM 10298. Grand piano by Nannette Streicher und Sohn, Vienna, 1829. This immaculately preserved grand piano represents a glorious moment in the history of instrument making. When J. A. Stein died in 1792, his workshop was kept in operation by his daughter, Nannette (1769-1833), and her brother, Matthäus Andreas (1776-1842), known as André. In 1794 the siblings moved the business from provincial Augsburg to Vienna, where they worked together until 1802, when André set up his own workshop. Nannette, who in the meantime had married the pianist and composer, J. A. Streicher, is an extremely rare historical instance of a woman visibly in charge of a major business. Moreover, it is virtually certain that her role was not confined to the front office. She was actively engaged in the design and musical finishing of the instruments bearing her name.



A radically redesigned new model with a downstriking action, of which the Museum's example is one of the earliest in existence and undoubtedly the best preserved, it was patented in 1823 by Johann Baptist Streicher (1796-1871), Nannette's son, the same year that he joined the firm as a partner. The Streichers maintained a long and cordial association with Beethoven, and the downstriking model, expensive to produce, was the top of their line.

Duke Ellington's piano?...



But it doesn't look like this authentic one with George Shearing... A Steinway.


so I'm not sure what it really is!

Actually, the memory is the second thing to go - I can't remember what the first is...

I think the real cause for concern is why can I remember having seen something like that before(I busted CT Rich on it once, too), but I can't remember where I'm supposed to be tomorrow?

oops...

That has to be from a Burning Man...

... and just keep on playin'!

Offered on my local Craigslist, an old Krakauer. No, I'm not going to get it!
