Art????

Et Al;
 I tuned for a new client yesterday whose choice of piano was/is questionable
but.....whose taste in decorating/Objects deArt is immpeccable.  He has a
hobby of restoring old reed organs....(by the way he has a complete bellows,
reed box w/reeds, etc. available if there is any interest. [Estey])
  He has on the wall in his music room the dual keyboard, ivory keytops, with
twelve stops of the organ six on each side, hanging as a shelf.  In order to
reduce the amount it protudes into the room the keyboards are placed at an
acute angle, enough so that you look at the keys as if you are looking down on
the keys. The spacer blocks/cheeks from the cabinet form the sides of this
unit and finish the allusion. Very, very nice looking and extemely
interesting.  The flat top of the hanging is used as a shelf where several
'old' books of music and  sheet music is displayed, books with the spline
facing out and sheet music with the front cover facing out........ Well done
indeed.  In His computer room he has the pedal clavier hanging on the wall and
uses the front stop as  a shelf where he keeps all of his CD discs, music and
computer;  also very well done.
  One more example of "Trash and Treasure" huh?
I personally have never seen this before, perhaps others have.
