Hello All, I thought I would take a few moments to update everyone on the piano my shop is building from scratch! The pictures show a general shot of the case before we shaped the front, the decal which is hand gilt in 24kt gold, the piano plate (not cast iron, rather, advanced high strength steel weldment made down the road from my shop), the under-side of the piano. To re-cap quickly, the underside shows primative art from the catacombs of Rome, with a grape vine pattern interconnecting it all. The Plate has passion flowers, angels, and a scroll from the book of revelation. The hand gilt decal is layered gold leaf, and show a boy sitting with a lion, lamb, etc.... and the holy spirit above with two angels. The inside of the rim is olive wood from the middle east, and the outside is amboyna burl. (not as red in real life.) the finish is french polish, in which we used frankinsense and muhr as an addative to the shellac. We used holy oil from Jerusalem to lubricate our rubbing pads, and to finalize, the keys are wooly mamoth ivory on spanish cedar keys. Also made here, along with the entire action. We offer ivory work to the industry as a side note. the piano is called "the passionata", which means the passion. (the passion of Christ) . The nameboard is inlaid birdseye maple , with the letters inlaid out of amboyna, and perfled in ebony wood. outward art is 24kt gold. Enjoy the pics. God bless, Mark Perry www.carvedpianoparts.com _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® has a new way to see what's up with your friends. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/WhatsNew?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_WhatsNew1_052009 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
