Now someone just needs to add the act chorus from the "Meow Mix" ad.

I suppose this has been posted before, but I actually got to see it when I stayed at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis this weekend: Francis Scott Key's Knabe.

It's on the mezzanine balcony overlooking the lobby. No one is allowed to play it, of course. In the lobby, they have a Yamaha grand that is either playing itself or in the eveining has someone live tickling its keys. I snuck to try a Young Chang grand in the ballroom on the top floor. My God what an awful piano. Talk about PSOs!

After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF.

As well as the piano scale designer, I wonder if anyone who created the piano case got credit.

That Knabe of FS Keyes is an example.

How do you suppose it managed to end up upside-down?

I'd speculate it flipped over when the house collapsed.

Note to Ron: So much for my wild idea. The plate's warped and broken in a couple of places. Based on what happened to it, along with other iron and steel items, we're guessing the fire inside the house must have gotten to at least 1,500∘F.

Kathy, IIRC, that's the first time that piano's been posted here.

Wait 'til Zorba sees it!

(It pegs my meter, too!)

Nope, I haven't seen it before - and it ROCKS! OH YEA!
