I think I'd rather have that continental!

But Zorba...it's white. Mostly. I thought you liked white pianos.

It could only be a Schimmel...

I couldn't figure out that left leg until I went to look at the rest of the pictures:

Here's one we haven't seen before..

From the tech who bought it on ebay:
Here's a little gem I bought last week for £5 -- a Kirkman "cottage overstrung" from 1881 with fine ivory keys.

I admire Schimmel for their daring in their piano designs - I really do. But this one begs the question "WHY?!"...

Now that's a horse of a different color! What's up with that "knee bolster" under the keybed? Is it a player drawer as the sheer number of legs would suggest?

Looks very cool!

Yup, a player Wurli!
(being a tall guy, those are impossible for me to fit my legs under - and a pain to tune!)
