Design Zealot

Sculpture! That is what hits you like a tidal wave when you first feast your eyes on this piece of sculpture, er, Piano. This beauty could make Michelangelo very proud. This outrageous music machine is actually a piano, and goes by the name, Schimmel Pegasus. Curves and more beautifully sculpted curves.

That is what you get in this piano, rather a piece of art. This very uber cool piano will not be out of place at a Beverly Hills bachelor's pad. Talk about traditionalism, the very grand piano has a very ergonomically designed keyboard on which you can finger dance your way to your woman's heart and like all things special, this beauty too, is hand-made. The Piano has over 200 strings with a key assembly of 10000 pieces with a fully adjustable hydraulic lid. That is quite a number. Even the Piano's seat is a work of art with hand stitched leather which can be fully adjusted for height, width and distance to keyboard.

Now, with that kind of comfort for your backside, forget playing the piano, you may rather prefer revelling in it's splendid comfort. This baby is just not about looks alone, a tri-dimensional soundboard with a high performance back assembly with tension collector and sostenuto middle pedal make this, one fully loaded device. The Schimmel Pegasus has found shelter at 14 very exclusive homes ranging from Eddie Murphy to Lenny Kravitz and right now one of these has come up for sale. And no illusions, these pieces of art don't come cheap. 110,000 Dollars for each of them. And, No, Eddie Murphy and Lenny Kravitz are not selling their Pegasus'. It is a music store tycoon lining his Pegasus for sale.[via]
