Beautiful piano pictures

[donjuan]

Ok, here is a fun challenge for us daydreamers:  Find a picture of the most beautiful piano you have ever seen!  Here are two nice ones:

I dont like kawai pianos, but this one here has a nice case:

And here is a 9'6'' Bosendorfer:


These arent nearly the most beautful I have ever seen- It is just to give you ideas!  Happy hunting!

(Probably won't work well on stage because the vertical beam thingy would block the audience's view of the pianist.)

How the hell cannot a Bosfie be not one of the most beautiful pianos?  I find most of the other ones repulsive (except for the Yammie) in my living room!)

Spatula: read the original challenge again. It said 'Find a picture of the most beautiful piano you have ever seen!', not 'Find me some firewood for the winter!' lol



I hope laughing at my computer is not a sign of madness - they'll be coming to take me away in a minute if it is.

Thanks everyone for participating in the piano eye candy challenge! 

Ok, lets see where we are at:

I like Axtremus' nomination:

beautiful, and actually practical.

and the Schimmel one isnt bad, although it sort of looks like a handgun lol

I dont know about you guys, but I find those Seiler pianos so gaudy! 

Now spatula, I cant stop laughing my head off at this:

haha can you imagine yourself seated at this thing??
Good show everyone!  Keep them coming!!  I think the most beautiful of the ones posted are the yamaha Axtremus posted and perhaps my original Bosendorfer (hey after seeing Spatula's coral reef piano, Bosendorfer doesnt seem so bad..)

I hope that worked, this is the first time I have put an image on the forum. 
Don't you love the look of a normal, new, shiny, balck yamaha grand piano?  I sure do.

To the answer of Spatula

The Bosendorfer cannot be the most beautiful piano, simply because there is Fazioli.

(And note my screenname, the sweet sweet irony) 

[donjuan]

yeah, I heard great things about Fazioli!  When I was visiting the kawai dealership, the guy told me if I ever get the chance, to play a Fazioli.  He said you could control the sound so well playing it feels like plucking the strings of a guitar!

Great pictures, thanks!

[flash]

I had the opportunity to play a Fazioli some years ago in a small theatre and it really gives a particular feeling. The lower notes sound in a way that they let me astonished.

I believe the most beautiful one, is the most ordinary Hamburg Steinway Model D.
Not any of the flameboyant artcase one.

[e60m5]

I prefer the satin finish of the New Yorks.

haha thanx im glad you liked the link
my favorites are the more flashy ones like the rhapsody in blue piano and the summertime piano

[donjuan]

Summertime was nice, but I wouldnt be able to play it because it would be so distracting, and if I were watching someone play it, I wouldnt be able to pay attention to the music for the same reason.  However can you imagine how nice it would look in a gorgeous garden with a fountain in the foreground..water cascading off the rocks...
wow... Now THAT would be beauty!  (tash, paint us a picture  )

I like their old roccoco Victorian D's including:

But my favorite Steinway is this old 1877 rosewood D:

But I really like the more modern look of the Boesendorfer Porsche design:

I actually say this exact piano in person. It's the first Steinway art case piano EVER! I even managed to touch it...mwahahaha...I saw it (and alot of other amazing pianos) on a trip to NYC in Steinway Hall last summer. It was great!

Actually, the one at Steinway Hall *is* one just like it, but not the same one!  There are *two* of these--one at Steinway Hall and one at Maximilliaan's in NYC.  The one at Steinway Hall is actually a slightly nicer color with a bit more red to the darker wood and a bit more warmth in the light gold wood, but other than the color differences, they *are* identical.
