Pianos in my collection:

On the left is a solid black upright piano made of heavy resin-like material. It measures 3 1/2" across by 4" high. The keyboard is in relief and the piano is made in China. On the right is a seashell-covered piano I got in Galveston, Texas. The lid opens to reveal a red felt-lined compartment inside. The keyboard is paper and the legs are wooden. It measures 3" across by 3 1/4" high. |
This is a pair of creamy taupe-colored resin-like pianos. The one on the left has a removable lid and storage inside. It measures 3" across by 2 1/2" high. The one on the right is a business card holder. It measures 3" across by 2 3/4" high. Both pianos have sculptured and pastel-colored flowers and a music book on top and are made in China. |

The piano on the left in this group is a white ceramic tray with keys painted on. It measures 6 1/2" wide by 7" long and is stamped on the bottom "Shafford Original ©MCMLXXX." In the middle is a plastic Star Wars piano or organ-like toy from Return of the Jedi. Max Rebo plays this in Jabba's palace. It has a 3 1/2" diameter and the keys are depressable. It is stamped on the bottom "©LFL 1980," LFL being Lucasfilm, Ltd. On the right is a small red plastic battery-operated toy electronic piano called "Fashion Miss." It has eight keys and they play a complete octave. It measures 5 1/4" across by 3 1/2" deep. |
On the left is a Belgian lace piano. I have one just like the one pictured, but it is not framed and it is from Bath, England. The piano itself measures 3" across by 3" tall. And OK, I deserve the trophy! It is inscribed "Most Obsessed With Pianos" and was a gift from my mother. It is 3" across by 5 1/2" high. |
