My thoughts on "The lost #pianos of #Siberia": I'm mainly jealous of the quixotic book title, not so much of the actual endeavours on the wrong side of the Ural mountains ... https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/05/pianos-lost-and-found.html

Sighted out back of the Grey St Salami in HamilTron, Aotearoa, an electric organ. Presumably left for the op shop staff to deal with. No idea if it works, but ....

In contrast, the new computational violin takes a physics-based approach: It produces sound based on the way […]
