This is a quality P22 studio piano donated by the Yamaha Corporation of America.  Carolyn Yarnell is the artist and you can learn more about her at www.carolynyarnell.com.  This piano was on display at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts and was played on by Lang Lang on January 25!

This piano, IMPROVISATION 1/11/11 11:11:1, is a joyful celebration of music, color, and creativity. An abstract painting in bold acrylic colors and Chalkboard Paint, little musical motifs sparkle under a delicate sheen of glitter. It’s whacky and fun, yet sure to inspire the sublime.

Decals may be carefully removed.

Additional information about the Yamaha P22 model can be found here.
