Like rare cars does this make my Steinway more valuable? I know, different manufacturer.

Saw that earlier today, sure hope the movers have really good insurance. I had to Google for info. on the fourth pedal, interesting minimal effect it would seem sound wise for such a unusual piano.

Ouch and it was a rare four speed F278 Fazioli with four pedals!

It interests me, the sound it made when it fell, the sound of all strings detonating simultaneously.  Painful.  The fatal gasp of a musical instrument.

Speaking of fatal gasps....did you hear the song,  bing went the strings of his heart...

We are still awaiting Ludwig's tune

I'll get on it tonight. Mr. Steinway could use a time though.

I wonder if there is video of it...

[FL SAAC]

No video yet but a pictured was issued.

The person of interest works for FOMOCO goes by the name of W. Coyote.

Before dropping the instrument he was heard to say name that tune...

I wonder if there is video of it...

Beethoven's Moonlight just recorded, Tony.  Mixing with photos and will upload in about a half hour or so.  It was a one take.  If my Russian piano teacher heard my recording now he'd rip me to shreds no doubt.  And rightly so. It's rusty.  Needs a lot of work.  And the third movement.   Would be a disaster to record.  Haven't played it in a couple decades and it is demanding let me tell you.

That was funny to the point of tears! A falling piano sure adds finality. My Steinway B weighs 750 pounds. It's the bomb baby!
