This is probably the largest concert piano in the world, and you have to climb a steep flight of metal stairs to play it.
VENTSPILS, Latvia, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- A concert grand piano boasting up to 5-meter-long strings was unveiled to the public in a new concert hall in Ventspils, a port city in western Latvia.
The giant instrument, believed to be the world's largest vertical concert piano, was made by piano builder David Klavins.
The record-breaking piano is 4,7 meters tall and pianists have to walk up a steep staircase to reach the keys.
It has stronger bass line and length of the strings creates much longer sound sustainability, according to Klavins.
