Piano Banana
The Zoroastrian seer Paran
Torravi once asked his student Narr,
“Have you ever peeled a banana and found a piano inside?”
“No, that is impossible,” Narr responded.
“Then peel this,” Torravi said, handing Narr a banana.
Narr removed the peel to discover a piano.
“How did you do that?” Narr asked.
“I did nothing. I have no talents,” Torravi answered.
“Then how did the piano get inside the banana?” Narr demanded.
“Why are you asking me?” replied Torravi.

Didn't Yamaha do something similar? I seem to recall an unconvential back on "The Silent Piano" sold in the U.S. I think it was designated MX-something-or-other.

Hmmm, don't recall seeing a Yamaha back like that Grotrian - but it's not something I'd pull a piano from a wall to check!

Need a new phone?

Rontuner, I figured since I've been on this thread so often enjoying the pictures and repartee that I should really say Thank You.

And Thank You to all you contributors of this particularly entertaining, cheerful thread. I look forward to every additional post, despite my lack of personal participation.

Flower cheers! IS

You'd better not drop anything on the piano; no I won't move it. Don't mess up the rugs, either - I just had them cleaned.


(Love this thread - thanks everyone!)

Steinway's first art case piano, built in 1857, currently on display in Steinway Hall:



Doesn't the first photo look like the piano has only two legs?
