If ‘Free Pianos’ Show Up in Your Feed, Don't Be Duped: Industry Pioneers Warn Against Them

If you’re offered a “free piano” it may seem like a bargain, but it’s actually a liability, according to piano technicians. Here's why.

💬 #DidYouKnow that the #pianist Alide Topp once responded to claims that women lacked the "biceps of a man" for great music by stating she broke her #pianos as well as any man?

The 30th novelette, " – on pretending that – ", continues, with some morning foolery, unexpected co-conspirators, and not one, but two disquisitions on value!

@RickGaehl I was shocked to realise that my first (pre-graffiti) photo of this is almost 20 years old now!

It's a rare example of a locally listed ghost sign in London:

Blooms Pianos Shoreditch | Ghostsigns

Ghostsign for Blooms Pianos on Kingsland Road in Shoreditch, London with the advertising slogan 'Perfection'.

Blooms Pianos| Ghostsigns | I photographed this fantastic sign today after going past it so many times on the bus. It's just by the Geoffrey Museum in Shoreditch and is covered at this time of year by a big tree.   I had to do a bit of monkey-style climbing to get onto the roof underneath, hence the odd angle.

Update! Kudos go to SouprMatt, @mls14, for solving the mystery! It's called a "Lautenwerck." Please follow his thread on this post for more info about that!

Thank you to everyone who jumped on this immediately and gave so much helpful input! Happy Holidays to you all!

Here's the video it was shown in!

What the real thing probably sounded like:

OP:

Does anyone know what this type of piano is called? The painting is from Germany in the 1700s or thereabouts. It's currently located in an Austrian collection. At first, I thought the piano itself was German, as that's what was said in the video this clipped screenshot is from, but now I really don't know.

As suggested, I'm editing to add some hashtags! Additional hashtag suggestions welcome!

Wow, I wasn't aware there were early pianos with buff stops.
