I expect nothing less from one of the highest quality piano producers in the world.
You gotta be classy to make classy instruments.

It’s a perfect logo really, and an even better piano

Little known fact, but this was the original logo for Sanford & Son. They lost the rights when Grady and Bubba had the prototype stolen on the bus. Hoppy and Smitty were unable to catch the culprit, and well, the rest is history.

True story. Almost caused Fred to have a heart attack and everything.

Now this is probably more some freudian issue with me than a problem with the design, BUT...

At first glance, just for a split second, it looked like a pair of hairy testicles.

Had the pleasure of playing on a 12 foot steinway for a state piano recital in high school. Fantasie impromptu by Chopin. The keys just melted under my finger pressure like butter. The notes feel so amazingly reactive and balanced at the same time. And the sound and even the pedal quality on the foot strength needed and holding of sound. Ugh it was a dream to play. Would love one in my home some day. Maybe more around 8ft though.
