R-371 12 foot piano - Homage to Ligeti by Mike Garson

[ryguillian]

Sounds more like Sorabji than Ligeti... but I like it.

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

Wow. Pretty cool, but I just wish the video angle was better.

[tigrankalevian]

good!

How many Rubenstein 371 have made (2007)?

That pitch is mayor to 440hz?

[aacmcc]

Zero made in '07. That one is most likely the only 12 footer he will make. It's tuned like most any other concert piano...

Very nice! Hey, how many guys does it take to move that monster? It does weight like 6,500lbs,

right? Have you heard Greg Anderson play Ligeti?

If not search you tube for Greg Anderson Ligeti.

The composer is Mike Garson, in "honour" to Ligeti

[aacmcc]

1 to move actually. David has a special box that assembles around the piano after the body has been jacked up and the legs removed.

Just as pianofortissimo-orte said, Garson wrote it as an homage, so it is a beast of a slightly different animal...

[LVB1770]

aacmcc, That's un frickin believable!

You should patten that and invent it for

other piano's. My tuner knows about this

monster of a piano.
