    Did they use the forty-four string dualing technique?


    (or did they just quattro the 22s?)

    Jazzy Bruce. Kind of an oxymoron given the heavy use of improv in jazz and the strict adherence to rules in German society.

    With the S model you can play Chopin's Minute Waltz in 30 seconds.

    The only connection I see is the blues which plays in the heart of every Audi owner who has seen the repair bill for his Audi.

    @.357: And the next generation will be heavier. The generation after that, though, will be lighter once Audi realizes that it's gotten too heavy to be fun.

    I heard this the other day: a jazz pianist doing rock songs like Mr. Brightside and The Diary of Jane.

    So... it's an Audi branded Bösendorfer. How is this designed by Audi? They don't really say what they did.


    Did they give it AWD and a big mouth?

    @Alphamazing: It has perfect tone according to all available measuring instruments, and constantly receives top marks from Piano Trend, Ivory & Wood, and Key and Hammer magazines. And yet, it somehow lacks the soul of lesser instruments, even that slightly off-pitch upright from the '70s in your parents' garage. But people in designer jeans fucking LOVE it.
