How about an 'Inside Out piano'? A what? A standing Grand Piano. Sarah Nicolls is a very talented experimental pianist from the UK. As a pianist she has been asked to play the piano plucking the strings (inside) etc. So Sarah invented the 'Vertical Grand Piano'.  Her company 'Future Piano' are hoping to design & build a 'vertical' Grand Piano that is also lightweight (around 82 kgs). I do kinda like this idea. Its certainly different & probably take up less room,lol.

Anything that let me come up with my own mental imagery while listening.  My first real foray into playing music was in my elementary school band with the alto sax.  There was a public access jazz station in NY I that I used to love so that’s probably why I chose that instrument. 3.
