Why does this picture look like some bad Photoshopping?

BTW, not sure what make, but it IS as "square grand". Note how it has four legs in a rectangular pattern.

It's probably one of those giraffe-type upright thingees. It has been stretched though...

Thanks, Zorba for giving me a break from digging for pictures!

Some of these old ones have amazing wood graining!
This one is before the finish was applied:

Here's my old Thompson upright (built in Chicago in the early part of the 20th century) Never refinished, but has some nice carving on the front.

First we had a piano with an aquarium built into it. Now we have one that is decorated like same - probably easier to keep in tune!

The Cherbourg piano sounds like an interesting story - I'd love to hear more if there's more to hear...


I've been searching the internet, but haven't been able to find anything. It is a fascinating story. HOpefully someone around here will have heard of it too. I may ask on PW as well.
