![[Linked Image]](http://bitsandpieces.us/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/imageshow-20to-20play-20piano.jpg) Hmm, my piano teacher told me to put my nose in front of middle C, but where is it?
I am 'doremi' because I play scales  My teacher is 'domisol' because he plays chords

doremi,
I don't know how long you can keep this up but I hope it's a good long time!
That piano is a gaudy as Elvis himself!

Hey Steve, Nice photo. Cute dogs. Lots of neat presents. The name on the piano's fall-board is somewhat blurry on my computer screen. Is that a Cunningham? Best, Bear

A few articles that I have read say Elvis played Knabe pianos. So I'm thinking the gold one may be a Knabe.

I believe it when I hear it  On the other hand - as long as you are willing to pay the (most likely hefty) premium, I am sure Steingraeber will also make you such an "art" case ... I was told that someone had ordered two in a chrome finish and with a plate in a blue finish (and they made them for him).
