allot to its eBay list , this $ 20,000 piano “ is not a piano at all ” but a fully go computer with a obscure 26″ Philips LCD TV / monitor and a 6.8 gigacycle processor . Modded from a 1904 Chickering erect forte-piano , the manufacturing business argue that it is not just “ the world ’s most beautiful reckoner , ” but “ the world ’s old computer ” and the “ world ’s highest security department computing machine ” as well . The verbal description indicates that Compiano smell of rich burnt sienna , but we think we smell something else :
Longtime buyer , first - time seller “ Compianos ” order that the piano he used for the mod is an “ upright grand”—I have always considered those two styles to be mutually single . Besides that , we have some doubtfulness as to the 6.8 gigahertz processor which he says lean Windows XP Media Center Edition with 1 GB RAM and a 500 GB hard drive . And there is an line of desperation in his alternative requital suggestion : “ I will think a trade of an automobile + cash . ” He does , however , make a very reasoned appeal to “ wives ” :
“ Afraid you could not yield it ? mean again . attend at all the miniature ( cars / boats / RVs ) your married man owns , pick one ( with a clear title of respect ) and make me an offer . He ’ll understand , especially when he ascertain it . Do n’t you deserve it ? ”
The Buy It Now damage is 19,998 ( which would let in transport ) ; the opening bid ( which would not ) is $ 6,998 . In any type , he plan to give at least 20 % of the sale price to charity . Now , is n’t that enough incentive to be “ the first owner and the only one in the world who can boast to have one ” ? [ eBayviaGear Diary , Gadget Lab ]
