The big grand with the square tail? It's a Steingraeber. Just came across it in my surfing...

How about another fancy upright?

I've heard the toy piano guy. There's also a guy in Seattle, Hokum W. Jeebs, who plays toy piano and tuba at the same time.

Back in the '50's and early '60's there was a jazz pianist named Marty Paitch who headed a piano quartet. On one of their albums each pianist had an acoustic grand, an electric piano (I think) and a toy piano. There's a picture of the studio setup on the album cover. Pete Jolly, one of my all-time fave pianists, was a member of the quartet.

I'm almost tempted to post a picture of my one room appartement (with grand piano, upright piano, digital piano and several other musical instruments). At least I know that I got my priorities straight as well...

Ron, congrats concerning your 200ths post! Still a long way to go for me.

Jens,
During early college days, I had a very small one room "house" with a grand piano. I mean I've seen bigger horse stalls than this little house.

Yes, they do seem to enjoy making outlandish looking instruments! Yet, they must be selling some, if they keep making more...

is that a blackboard over that keyboard? kind of a neat concept for composers--they could write and erase their compositions the way mathematicians do with their equations.

Rontuner, I think the Borgato double piano needs to come with at least a PG-13 rating... maybe PG-17, that thing's makin' me blush!!
