Pop Music

We've seen quite a few painted pianos on this ol' blog, and they always seem to get a strong response.  Some people are horrified at the thought of anyone slopping paint on a fine musical instrument, and they like to let me know it.  But I don't think anyone will give Kathryn's piano here a thumbs down.  And if you do, well, don't tell me about it.  Because I just can't live in a world that doesn't 100% embrace sweet, sweet poppy piano painted goodness.

That is just some mad, mad bravery that goes into something like that. And really....is that hand painted or a decal. If hand painted, well then I sorta hate that person. I could only WISH for such skillz.

Oh my...it's gorgeous! I have to admit that I often have mixed feelings about painting pianos...but this one is perfect!

Bravo to Kathryn! It's awesome!

I would never in a million years do it or want it in my living room, but it's fun to look at. It would have to totally fit the room. She did an amazing job!

Prudently Painted Vintage August 10, 2011 at 10:09 AM  

Gorgeous! I want to do that to a dresser or armoire or something!

OMG!! this is sooooo pretty!!! I just spent time looking up this graphic because as Prudently said this would work wonderfully on my unfinished armoire that I hadn't yet figured out what to do with. Awesome....can't wait to get the supplies and get the image enlarged...wish me luck to have it turn out as lovely as this piano!

This is gorgeous! As a musician (like 50+ years of it yeahhhh!) and an interior decorator (not that long...) I think the transformation is wonderful. My husband, a registered piano technician, and I have repainted several pianos. My only concern is that when a piano is painted, all the interior parts are properly removed by a qualified technician so that no paint gets into the playing "mechanisms". Then you're working with a piece of furniture like anything else. When we paint pianos we are concerned with them as both an instrument (of course hubby's usually rebuilt the insides to make them play like when they were new) and to make the cabinet look nice.It's a win-win:-)

I always thought of rock music as having guitars and stuff. But a lot of pop bands use guitars, and so do some rap songs, and so did some classical music and jazz. So what separates rock music apart from those kinds?
