Thanks. I went through to page 23. Just spectacular instruments.... one dusty old one made my want to choke.

Many links dead - that explains the x's in boxes.... Just all in all a WOW thread. Very impressive. Makes me love piano so much!

R - This is the one that was making me choke. SCARY!!!!!!!!!

And dusty and creepy galore!

Okay - that's all I've got to say.... back to posting fantabulous piano pics from around the globe! Whoa!

I'm with Sharon, Delius at the piano is one creepy very atmospheric photo. I wouldn't be surprised to find a few blobs of ectoplasm floating in the background.

Here is another Zorba Approved (tm) upright - a 1878 Simpsom, whatever THAT is! Yes, it IS a piano, not a pump organ!

It has 64 notes, and can be yours for "only" $3,000.

Zorbe, I think the 1878 Simpson is in what they call Renaissance Revival style.
