Our piano

Post by twistedtom »

This is a photo of our piano from a recent photo shoot.
I put a DP5 logo over the parts that may be objectionable.
The piano is a Decker Brothers of New York and came around the horn in a boat.

That's amazing! She can play with her back to the piano! How does she hold down the pedals when it calls for 2 at the same time? I'm guessing that if she faces the piano, she could play the lowest bass and the highest chord, plus an octave in the middle of the keyboard. Quite a feat! Absolutely lovely. Nice piano and clock, too.

This picture looks like it's straight out of one of those "Learn Boudoir Photography" books.

Tremendous.

The girl actually dose play piano well, she teaches music and is a singer. We are thinking of doing a music video, it will be good. We did a number of traditional sets as well as a bunch of green screen work this day.
I have been working with different models. I do a lot of combining 3d with photos then using painter and Photoshop to finish them. A lot of my work looks like MLC••™s new avatar. I am also doing this with video. Special effects in video jump the complexity up a bunch. I am doing a series of shorts and creating surround sound tracks for them.
I chose a photo that was not much worse than what you would see in ads in the news paper and put the DP5 logo on the places that got an ageing pop star in trouble at half time.
I hope this is not too much but I feel it is a nice photo of the piano.

Any way what are the problems I may face tuning a Victorian piano to modern a modern tuning (440)?

Okay... I took out the image. Seriously... that doesn't need to be posted here okay. I have a hard enough time weeding out the borderline stuff from the bots. If I haven't made the policy clear (because I didn't think I *had* to), pics of topless women with tiny graphics to cover the nipples aren't allowed on the board okay?
