hahah! It looks like it grew from the dirt, someone planted a seed and grew an ugly piano. ;D

Tash's choice worries me and hurts my eyes...

There was a pretty interesting piano in a dream I had on Wed. The frame was connected to the floor of the building and the keyboard was a seperate unit about a foot away from the frame, also connected to the floor. There was no case, just open mechanism and strings. All a part of the structure, the floor functioned as a soundboard. When you played, the building vibrated.

I dunno what kind of piano I'd like, but it would have a woodgrain finish.

Awww.

I was practising at Steinway Hall New York, at night, and I saw lots of VIP-like people downstairs. And the Rachmaninov Room, where I usually practiced, was moved to another room. When I finished prectising, I checked the former Rachmaninov Room to see what has become of it. And there was this piano... While I took a couple of pictures, the VIP guy where already upstairs and heading towards where I was. Sure, they where somewhat surprised when they opened the door and saw me taking potos of the piano they were presenting that night!!

     Well, photo please of Rachs piano.

Oh sorry, the quote didn't turn out well. I was talking about the one Tash posted. But, talking about Rach's piano, I do know Rach's greatgranddaughter, and her children, who had piano lessons with my teacher, but unfortunately didn't have not a single bit of their ancestor's genius. Well, they have Rach's piano...

No, fortunately not. The people just looked funny at me. A bit embarrassing, I guess.
