Dynamite Film: a piano player's nightmare!
In the 1935 film entitled Mister Dynamite
starring Edmund Lowe and based on a on a Dashiell Hammett story called 'On the Make'.
This was mid-'30s whodunit where the murderer wired a pistol inside of a piano.
When the pianist struck a specific key, the gun fired, killing him.
Esther Ralston played the murderer. There were two murders
that took place when certain notes were played, setting off the gun.

A Hallet and Davis
This one was sent into us by Susan. This piano was made in about 1840.
An Orange Zender
This is a piano I saw on my travels as a piano tuner. Apparently it was made as a special commission for a wealthy client! Zenders are usually tame wood colours.
