OP Rich Galassini Yikes! 10000 Post Club Member Joined: May 2001 Posts: 13,236 Philadelphia/South Jersey	Hi all, It is snowing here in Philadelphia and I am feeling the Christmas spirit. I know we did this before, but it is the perfect day (at least for me) to see some Christmas piano pictures! I will start this one off with an early 20th Century Cunningham upright - ready for a carol sing and hot cocoa.

It seems to be quite common on older uprights but almost never seen on contemporary pianos. Is the design carved separately and then glued to the piano?

Okay, I just looked up "diafragma lens" and I see it's a camera focus. Oops! I apologize for miss read your question. Anyways, I didn't actually take the picture. I just got it off the internet cause I thought it looked so pretty! I will take a picture of my piano and my Christmas tree tonight. I am such a fan of Christmas lights. So here's another picture. I just enjoy lights sooooooo much! Last edited by Diane...; 12/12/13 12:27 PM. http://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/goldsparkledress.jpg Diane Jazz/Blues/Rock/Boogie Piano Teacher
