    Very pretty!!

    I’ve heard of wrapped pianos, I believe it’s similar to wrapping cars, right? I wonder if it damages the finish at all.

      I can't help wonder what kind of disability would be conducive to unleashing creativity with this watercolor-like design but I'm all for it. It's creative and sensitive. We need more of this kind of thoughtfulness in the world.

          Not my cup of tea, but I'm all for supporting creativity.

            Not my cup of tea either. Not for classical music, anyway; too much of a distraction. I could see Elton John playing it onstage. Appreciate that it's an artistic expression, but that would work far better as a fabric print, imo.

            The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

              That was my thought about the keyboard on the Bosie owned by... Drake I think. Let me find some pics....

                Here it is (that was easy, just google "Drake Bosendorfer and tons of photos pop up, how funny!)

                So, full disclosure: I love how the keyboard looks. But I would not want this for my own piano.

                By the way, here's the artwork inside the lid:

                It's by the Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami. If I were commissioning him for some piano artwork, I would pick something more like this:

                Or this, which would be especially appreciated in this dreary weather!

                But again, I wouldn't want this for my piano.

                The piano can be black (as mine is) and the artwork can in the room around it (as mine is.....

                  The correct way to decorate a grand piano is pile all sorts of sheet music and knick knacks on it. (As mine is.)

                    I like the decorated pianos. Think I don't want one.

                      Some comedian -Pryor? - once said that cocaine was God’s way of telling you that you have to much money.

                      This piano may indicate the same.
