The Keaton Music Typewriter was first patented in 1936 (14 keys) by Robert H. Keaton from San Francisco, California. A 33 key version (pictured) was released in 1953. The machine types on a sheet of paper lying flat under the typing mechanism.

This one really shocked me...since we usually see Brahms in his later years.

Handsome.

Love the dress. Unfortunately, I don't have the requisite anatomy to wear it.

European countryside mural
This European countryside mural was done out by Red Mountain in a beautiful castle-like stone home. This is in the front room behind the most beautiful piano I’ve ever seen (or played!).

Inventions: The Piano That Tunes Itself
Most musicians can tune their instruments whenever they like. The exception is the pianist, who typically isn’t trained to tune the piano’s 200-plus strings. Instead, both amateur and professional piano players must hire a technician to get their instrument in shape. But Don Gilmore has accomplished an engineering feat that he says could do away with the need for tuners: a self-tuning piano.
