Sure. The piano in question will be delivered to your house along with an autographed photo of Randy Mantooth. Wink

And if you believe that, can I interest you in a bridge in New York or some oceanfront property in Arizona? Big Grin

I just read through all 135 pages. What fun. I love strange pianos. This one was my favorite.
Does anyone know anything about this piano?

I was also surprised to find my piano.
I just bought from an old man in Guadalajara. I haven't even seen it in person yet. This is what it looks like right now.


Liberace at Chopin Piano - This hand-painted Pleyel concert grand piano was made in Paris in the early 1800's. It is believed Chopin played this piano at Versailles Palace.

Welcome to WTF, Greeb. I just read about your piano at Piano World. I had the pleasure of visiting that Smithsonian piano last spring.

After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF.

Its my understanding that it was given to one of the Napoleons by Queen Victoria and that its shape was inspired by the shape of his hat.

My wife took one look at it and told me "BUY IT!". I wish I could, its one of my all time favorites too!
