You know, I didn't even notice that. Probably why the poor thing is where it is - thrown off a balcony by a frustrated tech!

Nothing here that a bit of steel wool and some gold spraypaint couldn't fix:

As a crazy person with 12 cats, I recognize the signs of cat pee. Amazing how corrosive it is. With cats, the piano must be kept closed at all times.

Ok, I'll bite. What *is* that? It doesn't appear to be a Janko keyboard...

This from the site:
Xul Solar (1887-1963) was an Argentine painter, sculptor, writer, and inventor; a visionary utopian; an occultist and astrologer who yet remained catholic; an accomplished musician who was fluent in seven languages, two of which were of his own devising; and a minor character in Borges’s Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.

From the comments section:
I think the idea behind the multicolored key harmonium was more of an artistic synesthesia experiment than just a simple sound-color match. He also altered a piano.


I've been to the Xul Solar Museum in Buenos Aires and thoroughly recommend it! It's a beautiful building and they've got an extensive painting collection, objects, toys, musical instruments and a small library.

****************************

So, I really don't know what the altered keyboard hopes to do...

Done. Consider the feather boa fetched.

Now, who's going to book this trip? I gave the last party, so I'm off the hook.

Time's a-wasting. I'm having a hard time keeping kitty from shredding my boa, and I've got a closet full of frocks suitable for this venture that are gathering dust.

Hold on a minute. Did anybody get a look at that fallboard? We don't want to waste our time on a yacht that's got a crummy piano.
