I don't have much information about these huge pianos.

Location: Schiermonnikoog
Dimension: 3 x 8 x 6 x 5 meters
Materials: wood
Assigned by: Internationaal Kamermuziek Festival Schiermonnikoog.

Evidently a music festival in the Netherlands, but why they needed all these giant pianos to celebrate/advertise it, I have no clue. Maybe one of our Dwellers, or Lurkers, in the Netherlands can enlighten us.

It's art

Sheldonrs · 02-24-2008, 05:28 PM

Meh. I've seen organs bigger that those pianos.

Aliantha · 02-24-2008, 05:29 PM

And did you get a chance to 'tinkle' on those huge organs?

It's fun...

I've seen an organ that fills half a cathedral room.

You'd need some super heavy duty lube for that wouldn't you.

No, but you would need a dolly and perhaps a crane.

The Piano

Man. Paul Bunyan is going to be soooooo pissed that they wrecked his pianos.
