Description

Once a perfectly good (and rather expensive) grand piano, some enthusiastic Artificer has inflicted steam power, gear trains, eccentric centrifugal stabilizing cams, balancing rods, and reified polydimensional strings on it in an attempt to improve the tone. Somehow, it's also acquired a colony of stuffed Klatchian birds and a little hopper near the floor.
