Thanks to
Squeezyboy for pointing me towards eBay item
#7350576206, a fourteen foot long MIDI keyboard. It starts at £2,000.
This page seems to belong to the people who built the piano, complete with a fantastic video of it being played by some workmen. I guarantee it will make your day. It's the sort of thing that
Jean Michelle Jarre would have played back in the day. In other keyboards-on-the-'bay news,
#7349626808 is an original Fairlight II keyboard (like the ones seen
here and
here), currently just £60. I've spent a few days thinking I should buy it and
turn it into the world's most awesome MIDI controller have it gather dust in house. Similarly, how cool would it be if I wrote MT on a
Fairlight Querty Keyboard?

Funky. The Fairlight keyboard controller is sitting underneath an old Synclavier II board. Man, what that must have cost in 1983.
ReplyDeleteThe piano scene in "Big" was shot in the high-end toy store FAO Schwartz in New York city. They sell this type stuff (which I think was a commercially available item) and last I heard the foot piano is still there and customers can walk on it if they choose.

Gee, thanks, ipodstreet.com. I've always wanted to have comment spam shoved down my gullet while I'm perusing weblogs.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and that keyboard's cool. But at that price I'd expect it to come with a defibrillator.
The original Keyboard is in Children's Museum in New Jersey, outside of Philadelphia, PA.
