Advice: The Whaletone Piano
For the essential man, style is the number one priority on the list when making decisions….ok, maybe number two or three but its up there. ESM would like to introduce you to The Whaletone piano. Throw one of these badboys in your living room and you’ll rank up there with James Bond on the cool-o-meter (sidenote: please make sure your living room is big enough to accommodate other furniture AS WELL as the piano if you do decide to purchase).
What’s dope about the Whaletone is that its ‘guts’ consists of a Roland RD-700 digital stage piano (*audiophile/nerd alert) equipped with MIDI ports, headphone out, and the option of a CD player just to name a few. And let’s not stop there, this pretty lady also comes with B&W loudspeakers and a 4 channel amp built in! Are you as excited as we are right now? Why not? I bet you Robert is….
Designer, Robert Majkut, says the idea came to him in a dream….no, really a dream.
“Although I was moved by the dream, I did not appreciate its meaning at first. I realized how little had changed in this instrument over so many years. Intrigued with this discovery, I began to chase the dim picture trapped in my memory. At first, my mind lead me astray, struggling with habits, experience, intuition and beliefs. It took me a long time to sketch the form, which came across as something vaguely imitating the vision concealed in my mind. And then, one day, while working on this concept already a bit obsessively, my mind unlocked and my hand drew the piano from my dream. I immediately recognized it. I instantly knew I got it.”
So how much will this dream set you back? We don’t know yet….nor do we care. You can’t put a price on style.
