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 who did the electronic part(Kunst en Muziekwerk)

Tried first by the Gonnagles as a platform for an electric piano. Later 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. Geert Meuffels (Captain Krimson) also frequently plays the piano.

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. 2015: alas, the keyboard had to be replaced by a fresh one. It was too wide, so we cut of the lowest 3 keys, glued the whole thing together again and played on.

The piano is also spotted at Kunst in het Volkspark, at carnival in 's Hertogenbosch, in Amsterdam, downtown Enschede, at the Frankenstein Festival, Grenswerk 2009 and 2010, various demo's, a more commercial use in an advertisement campain in 2014 and another one in 2015 and in the Sint en Pieten show of the Rabo theater Hengelo.
