I don't play the piano, but if I did, or just had the money to buy one and have it sit around, this would be the one. It's a very cool design, which also probably means it's very expensive. Here's the details:
Whaletone is a bespoke musical instrument, designed by Robert Majkut. Being a unique combination of an original design and advanced technology, it caters for the taste of both design lovers, and professional musicians.
The concept for the design was born in a dream. In his dream Robert Majkut saw a grand piano – totally different and challenging the classic notion of the instrument. For weeks he was chasing the picture trapped in his memory, trying to capture the shape of the piano from the dream. Until one day, when his mind unlocked and … Whaletone was born.
Monumental – like a whale emerging from the water, slow – like the movement of a giant. Charming, majestic, delicate and melodious, like romantic calls of coquetting whales…
This is a new video by The Lonely Island of I'm On A Boat fame. The song is amusing (and NOT work safe), but the video makes it awesome. I never thought I would say this, but the best thing about the video is Michael Bolton. No idea how they got him to agree to this, but Bolton went all out, doing costumes, cusing, wearing a dress, I mean all out.
These are pretty cool looking. Not sure I really like the red wires, but I can deal with them. The case is also pretty nice, and compact.
