"Lil Alien" Banjo
​
(SOLD)
REWRITE for BANJO

This tiny piano was created from a 6" piece of natural "live edge" Honduran Rosewood Burl.  It has 18 tiny white keys of antique ivory, 13 zericote black keys, a brass sustain pedal, and three lion-paw legs. No CNC machine. Instead, this small masterpiece was designed and engineered by eye, painstakingly carved, each individual ivory and zericote key having been shaped by hand, and fitted into the keyboard, using only hand files, sandpaper, and precision craftsmanship. 

Artist: Nancy R Koerner

Year made: 2019
