Thanks!

All I need now is a colored pianoplayer and a setting in North Africa.

Since we're on the subject of pianos:

…"It's better to have a lobster on your piano than crabs on your organ"...

Now I can model that Flintstones episode with "88 fingers" Louie! "Hey mac, wanna buy a piana?..."

@John, never a truer word...

There was also that scene in Band of Brothers.....

Another great piano scene was in Memphis Bell...Harry Connick Jr. playing the piano at the dance the night before their last mission.

Here's looking at you, kid!

This one is pretty silly; MiniArt does understand that we mainly build armour, right? As in conflict zones? Outside of having a smashed piano in the ruins of a building, or a bunch of soldiers banging away on the keys for amusement I can't see any use for these. For the latter possibility it would be nice if they provided the figures playing: a few Tommies playing a tune, etc. That would be interesting but pianos on their own gets a thumbs-down from me & my pocket.

Each to his own! Pianos, musical instruments, and all the various house, office, and factory furnishings that Miniart produces finds places in many dioramas. Even if you just want to have guys shooting at each other, or a tanks bursting through a wall, it's always handy to have some appropriate equipment/furniture in the building instead of leaving it bare. How about a refugee column with a piano, bedstead, and furniture in a horse cart - seen it somewhere in a documentary.

Yeah, what Biggles said! The more real life items that become accessory sets, the more options we have to create interesting or unique dios/vignettes. Many moons ago, Verlinden & Historex offered all kinds of farm equipment, furniture, kitchen stuff, various animals(alive & dead) etc., some of which I still have in my stash. Would rather have these options than trying to scratch-build it every time I wanted something different.
