    Wow, those are exquisite! I wish I had a living room to fit it in though - I cant even fit in a dining table, lols. And, well, some piano playing skills wouldn't hurt

    That piano was very pretty. It looked foxy. I can just imagine that one
    parked where one of the musicians at church had to listen to me play it
    while they pecked on the Steinway! Yes the church has a steinway
    and it isn't even half as pretty as the Chrysler piano.

    I'm not sure I'm too keen on the design - though I wouldn't turn it down if I was offered it!

    I wonder how much it costs?

    Oh good, I didn't want to be the only one who wasn't totally enthralled with that design. To me its somewhat overdone - although the underside of the lid this way is lots more entertaining than a shiny ebony finish. Then what appears to small casters on the legs - thought I've seen bigger casters on other Bössendorfer pianos. Mind you, this one was built to customer specs, and if they have the money, all the better for Bössendorfer.

    In my country we say about an elegant piano like this, in danish "Til manden der har alt", which in english would be: To the man who already has everything.

    That is one amazing piano, mind you it would need an amazing room to put it in. I was looking at some unusual pianos on the net, one was completely transparent. One of them sold at auction for £1.2 million in 1998. I wonder if it was just for show or if it ever gets played.

    I hate to disagree with people (Krummhorn apart), but if ever we needed proof that Harrods has not one iota of class ...

    I've long dreamed of having the room (and the money) to have a baby grand, but I wouldn't give that room space.

    If you want elegant, get a Steinway, black, with it's simple lines etc. Anything that is that garish can't be considered elegant...

    I dont think those were supposed to be a model of class and elegance, more like retro/modern/funky - thats what it looks like to me at least
