K208 Pegasus

Pegasus-at first it was just a daring flight of fantasy on the part of the eccentric German designer Prof Luigi Colani and the German piano manufacturer Nikolaus W. Schimmel, who inherited a pioneer spirit from his grandfather and father. It was their vision to free the grand piano, the most expressive of traditional acoustic musical instruments, from its form, which had hardly changed in the past 150 years, as well as to impart to the upright piano a future-oriented design. Sound and form, form and sound were to permeate these new extraordinary instruments, and the pianist was to be an integral part of them.
