Dave,
It is awsome. You really need to get a pic of your ~minifig scale Grand Piano
up as well especially seeing that it might be commisioned.
I think it sucks that TLG would not donate the bricks. I thought they did for
artistic endevors such as this. If they wouldn't donate here I would like to
see what they would donate to. (How about models of Consentration Camps).

Don't put yourself down man this is great I only wish I had your talent with
the Brick.
