Western piano and Clint Eastwood

[Anne Acker]

Rob,

Clint Eastwood does play the piano, very, very well.  He is an expert in early jazz, and composed all the music for some of his most recent films.

I think he has considerably more taste than the piano you describe!  Those early spaghetti westerns were a way to have fun and make money.  

Seriously though, I find all customized pianos terrific, even if I wouldn't want them in my own living room?  The basic boring black suit is for bankers.

I had a call to work on a piano that pretty much took the cake.  The owner was really into a western motif and the piano was made to match perfectly.  The entire case was covered in leather.  There were decorative studs around the edges.  In the center on top were mounted a pair of roped bull's horns, (like the hood ornament on the front of Boss Hogg's Cadillac convertible).  The bench was replaced with an old tractor seat.  On top of course were the boots, spurs, whip, hat, etc.  If Clint Eastwood played the piano this would be the one he would own!
