February 24, 2008: Schiermonnikoog

I don't have much information about these huge pianos.
Quote:
Location: Schiermonnikoog
Dimension: 3 x 8 x 6 x 5 meters
Materials: wood
Assigned by: Internationaal Kamermuziek Festival Schiermonnikoog.
Evidently a music festival in the Netherlands, but why they needed all these giant pianos to celebrate/advertise it, I have no clue. Maybe one of our Dwellers, or Lurkers, in the Netherlands can enlighten us.

No, but you would need a dolly and perhaps a crane.
