About the Piano

(click here, to preview photo flipbook)

This one of a kind piano was crafted in tribute to Coco Chanel, a legendary fashion designer and icon. The airbrushed intertwined white lines on black canvas create various patterns that emulate fabric in fashion, covered with immense jewelry built from 48,500 brilliant-cut cubic zirconia, inlaid with various abstract lines and geometric pattern sequences illuminating infinite amount of imagery, giving it a multi-dimensional effect. The plate of the piano is gilded in a beautiful and feminine “Candy Apple” deep red color. A silhouette of Coco is painted on the inside of the lid and on the music leaf.

Steinway & Sons was undoubtedly number one choice for this custom piano. We wanted to use only the best and to make it classic and beautiful. With attention to every detail, it was important to go above and beyond in order to achieve the best sound and performance for the piano that is one in the universe.

This custom piano features the most advanced sound reproducing system, Live Performance Model LX. Bringing you live piano performance to your home.

Player piano technology has evolved over the past 25 to 30 years faster then ever before.The introduction of MIDI has allowed a standard format to be used with the current systems & has provided some very good performances. However, as good as midi is, it still lacks true high resolution or high performance playback. MIDI with 128 levels of expression has its limitations. Live Performance LX system built by Mr. Wayne Stahnke, considered by many as the worlds leading designer & engineer of reproducing piano systems. The LX has taken reproducing pianos to the next level.For the sophisticated listener, the performance of this system is quite impressive. With over 1200 levels of expression, whisper soft pianissimo and it’s thunderous fortissimo, it is simply the most human like playback ever heard. Proportional sustain pedaling allows the complete control of the dampers as originally recorded by the artist – adding to it’s realism & accuracies.
