Words from a.c.k.

The Grand Skull Piano began as an idea... a concept... a possibility... an “I wonder if... I first thought of it while creating my Broken Keys collection, specifically while working on the mad Pianist. I had placed an upright wooden piano into a scene, something like the kind of artist’s studio I would like to work in. On the workbench sat a skull (yes, I put it there). And then it hit me... What if I took that skull, enlarged it, and fused it with the instrument itself, on top of it, inseparable from it. The vision arrived complete. This must be built, and only I can build it. After some deliberation, i decided it could not be an upright piano, it had to be a Grand, the Grand Skull Piano. The name alone felt inevitable.

The Grand Skull Piano is more than a work of art.
It is a modern relic.
It is the FrankenSteinway.
It exists in a category of its own, and will never be done again.
