    Fantastic photographs. Amazingly effective illusory experience.

    I’d like to live in there. Looks cozy. Just needs an oak roll top desk, a couple of leather wing chairs, and a few other items- and then it’s good to go.

    I wish my grand looked so clean inside.

    Very polished work, extremely precise, technically. Is his musicianship on the same level?

    One problem: the interiors of instruments is very insightful: the craftsmanship is exposed, or the lack of. Some of the pianos (I won’t mention which) seem to have dust inside, and corrosion on the metal parts. Very revealing. The Faziolis and Steinways, in contrast, are beautiful in their precision and quality of craftsmanship.

    As an artist, I enjoyed seeing this very much.

    Beautiful art. The effort involved must have been huge. Well done to Charles Brooks.

    Interesting that the interiors aren’t varnished. Also – when do we start seeing carbon fiber cellos? jr https://www.rutmanip.com
