Steinway Artist Beegie Adair at Steinway Hall

On May 3, 2013, Ms. Adair visited Steinway Hall in NYC. At their request, she played on Steinway Piano No. 500,000. The piano was designed by artist Wendell Castle in 1988. All the 800-plus Steinway Artists signed the piano with their names,including Vladimir Horowitz and Elton John. Those artists who were deceased were given signatures to include by their family or estates.
Ms. Adair's representative had just told us that most pianists weren't very comfortable playing on the piano due to its massive size and unconventional design. As you can see and hear, this wasn't an issue for my boss. :)

One of my favorite Gershwin songs and such a beautiful adaptation by the wonderful Beegie Adair. She's sorely missed but will never be forgotten.

[@albertjosefkaelin7740]

Dear Beegie and Orchestra - As a young man I had an encounter in a night bar with two musicians: piano, bass and drums. I didn’t see the bass, I just heard it! - Strange - The drummer made the bass with the larynx! That was impressive! ⛑

Вот именно этот человек и составляет высшую ценность человечества. И в случае БОЛЬШОГО ПИЗДЕЦА в первую очередь нужно спасать именно их - людей, которые являются носителями культуры. Ибо: научиться добывать огонь человек может и сам. А вот для того, что бы постичь прекрасное - нужен пример.

[@MrClassicalMusic1]

Beautiful piano...but the last couple notes are surprisingly out of tune.

[@jofinsky8400]

Love BG but the sound quality is bad.

[@joipiano5797]

such a shame that the grand is so out of tune...

[@sarrahwe]

Joi Piano yeah I noticed that right off for being such a showpiece signed by all those Famous stars especially ,,,Those last few notes.They are really bad For them to Take such pride in there pianos, you would think they would at least keep this one in tune!!

[@mudgebauer]

I like Beegie, but that piano is just ugly. What a waste of work, materials and time making that monstrosity.

[@billcherry5852]

That piano is a mess.

[@davidwelty9763]

Ugly Steinway, excellent artist.
