I ordered two.  Why not at that price?  They knocked off $10,000 so think of all that savings.

With a complete cabin and four wheels.  It will also drive under water.

And hey, Eddie Murphy owns one.  Eddie Murphey.  I don't think he gets enough credit for his piano ability.

Still, he might prefer the four wheel drive more.

Haha Bob you're so hilarious.  Well.....just goes to show you what non-pianists will pay for something that looks cool.  I once met a guy who paid 114K for a Steinway B just because it had a fancy case.  Moron----if I had that kind of money no one could keep me from getting a Steinway D.  So much better!!

How about this fantastic futuristic Fazioli.  (How's that for alliteration!)

Ooh that thing looks like it could break the sound barrier, fly under the radar, and drop a nice bomb before the end of the exposition.

It looks like a giant bottle opener.

It also looks like the seat can't be adjusted forward/backwards.

After you spend that much, you can live under the piano.  Become one of those homeless grand piano bums you so often see.

I would think it would difficult to move if the front doesn't detach.  I suppose that wouldn't concern someone who was actually buying it though.

And then if the front did detach... It's going to tip over sideways.  Wouldn't that be nice?

And is it just me, or does that white piano have an extendable seat for extra wide rear ends?  Looks like the side fold out.  Yes, I see the same on the top down view of the black seats.  I can see a salesperson saying, "Hmm... You, sir/ma'am, might be interested in this feature..."

Is Schimmel a good brand?  I don't remember hearing of it before.  But if it's big and shiny... well then,  what the heck?  Why not?

Is that a Rolls Royce hood ornament on the Schimmel? Rats, I only have a Hyundai hood ornament on mine...

I'd like to sit in that Schimmel. 

Seinfeld said one time that being on the Starship Enterprise was every man's dream:  Watching TV while hurtling through space.  What if we could do that with
a piano?  ;D
