piano mobile

Also nicknamed: Frankensteinway.

Formula: Take an old wheelchair, cut it in two parts and widen it. Mount a platform on top.
Put a keyboard on top with two enthousiast pianists. Use for: mobile piano accompagnement for street music

Built together with Edwin Dertien (Kunst en Muziekwerk)

Tried first by the Gonnagles as a platform for an electric piano. Llater the wooden fake piano around was added it that makes it much more theatrical and interesting to look at. Wouter Munsterman provided the ugliest lamp shade that he could find. He played several times

This wheelchairpiano performed later (amongst others) at Proefeet in Enschede (YouTube), in the HEMA, during the Night of Enschede, in the Sinterklaasperformances of the music school and the RABO theater Hengelo, and in Rood Verlangen's theatershow.

The pianomobiel is now provided with an 88-key keyboard, that performs better than the old one.

More recent performances were at Kunst in het Volkspark in 2010, Grenswerk 2009 and 2010
