BartK I'm wondering about the depressed keys and the power plug. Is it a player piano?
Again, I pulled this of FB so I don't know, but I was guessing it's a player, and probably an after add-on (given the apparent age)
Also, how much would the backwards lid change the accoustics of the piano?
I have this question too!!
Egad, hideous is an understatement! I am probably going to have nightmares tonight...
@ShiroKuro Are we sure this wasn’t generated by AI? The fact that the lid opens the wrong way seems to me to be something that I would expect from and AI image generator, but would probably create significant issues if one were to try to actually construct the case. Also, the weirdly depressed vs uneven keys would seem to be a plausible AI thing.
Sgisela Are we sure this wasn’t generated by AI?
It's certainly possible, but I don't think so. I feel like the photos are too good, looking at things like the view out the window, the consistency of room across different photos, that kind of thing. It would take some pretty high level AI I think.
The person who posted it said he works at a piano refurbisher, in Taiwan, and that this was something the client requested.
the weirdly depressed vs uneven keys
I think that's from the player mechanism.
Oh one other reason I don't think it's AI is just how the other posters (all piano tuners) reacted to it.
But again, you could be right , I have no idea really.
Gag me with a spoon.
Only 2 pedals? And it needs to be plugged in?
So unbelievably ugly, perhaps it's an A.I.-generated picture?
pseudonym58 perhaps it's an A.I.-generated picture?
I could be wrong, but I don't think so. There were lots of photos on FB, showing the room from different angles etc.
Haven't Heard that expression in a long time.
