Yer all beginning to sound like psycho pyro maniacs!<G> Greeeetings! Speaking of which....I have had this great idea for a pyro fire works piano, for some time, which can be used on the infield of a baseball stadium for a 4th of July celebration! I came up with it 4 years ago... It has a clear fire proof "windshield" or guard ,if you will, the clear fire proof plexiglass is about 6 feet high and sits where the music desk would normally be...a guy/gal in a flame suit has to play it. Its made from a grand piano (you cant use an upright, because the hammers wont throw the fireworks out through the top). A methane gas fired pilot tube is run from bass to treble with 88 valves in 88 flame orifaces (one in front of each hammer). Its hammers are packed each with a different chemical compound, making different colors for different notes (sulfur for yellow on some notes..etc). plus the potassium nitrates and proper carbon and sulfurs ratios for the fire works part...each hammer is drilled and packed with the stuff. A little main valve on the side of the piano is turned on to fire the pilots up and through each small valve that is opened when that note is struck ...........WHAAALAAAHH! A colored array of coodinated colors for specific chords is shot up and out the top of the piano as that baby is played!! ...I can just seeee all the colors wildly spewwing and exploding all over the place!
