wow....... a little weird looking? hahahahaha. I'm not really into that "modern" look. It doesn't look like you can move the "bench" back and forth. I wouldn't pay 28 million for that. Heck I wouldn't pay 1 million.

I saw one in someone's home from a distance once. The owner was supposed to have been an NBA star, and it sat in a window that overlooked a lake we were sailing on.

It's a Schimmel Pegasus model.

For some reason it reminds me of an early millenium Ford Taurus. Schimmel makes some crazy stuff. Has anyone seen their clear piano?

Haha, damn you Froid. Look at the paranoia you have brought upon us. EVERYTHING is phallic...lol

So anyways, does it do anything "funky"/"cool"/"psychadellic"? Im sure it has the full "disklavier" stuff built into it, right?

That.... is one of the MOST GOD-AWFUL THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN. That isn't a Piano, that is some lump of sh!t that some weird Contemporary artist came up with...

I almost threw up from seeing that. I'm not one for classic looks usually, but the Piano??? I want it to stay exactly like it is for the next 500 years.

Yeah, it actually doesnt look ugly, but i wouldnt pay half a million for a piano that i cant even customise the position of the bench to my liking.

If it's the same Schimmel "Pegasus":

That is the most butt-ugly piano ever built.

They designer should be, uhmmmm, shot.

Plus it's white.

How would you get it into your home? Not sure that would fit through even a large-ish hallway.

I'm sorry, I have to agree with many others, that is a horrible looking piano, made much worse by the numerous impracticalities it has, starting with the fixed bench. Do you think that piano is made out of wood? Wonder what it sounds like.

The only place I might like to see that piano would be inside a piano museum, or maybe a car museum, since it looks more like an automobile or a spaceship than an instrument...

I bet it would top 150 on a smooth lake with a tail wind!

Look closely, folks, I bet the top portion of the seat is adjustable, probably electrically, like your driver's car seat.

There are no words for such an abomination!
