This one has "Zorba" written all over it, an 1874 Steinway:

I expect you've had all the Steinway artcases on this thread before. The lack of taste never ceases to amaze me... OK, yes, I hear you, taste is subjective and all that.




Then I read:
"Another Steinway art case piano, serial number 300,000, currently resides in the East Room of the White House" and the image of W sitting tinkling away at "Chopsticks" suddenly came before my startled eyes, and a REALLY bad taste came into my mouth, so I had to switch over from the Steinway site and came over here instead Razzer

I just wouldn't be able to play on that. My Chopin Etudes would be completely unplayable.

Odd positioning of the piano. I wonder why the owner has it opening to the sliding glass door rather than into the room.

It really is beautiful artwork...the face, the decoration etc. Musta taken forever. Wonder if this artist has other pieces...can one backtrack where they found it and find other objects?

Note the "Sound Ports" on the corners.



I've always liked designs like this. I wonder how well the "sound ports" work.
