Snakes enjoy a bit of music, which is why they can be
charmed out of a comfortable basket by a session of
flute
or horn playing. For the discerning pianist, who also just
happens to own a snake, there has been no means of
effectively serenading and entertaining their elongated
friend whilst
also playing their instrument until now,
with
the introduction of a new feature called Snakes On A
Piano.
Snakes On A Piano is a simple addition that takes the
form
of a long polished tube, running around the perimeter of
the piano, supported on a series of prongs just above the
sound board area. (grand piano of course)
The snake, preferably a boa, enters the tube and will
naturally leave its head protruding from one end just
where the keys are located.
Any form of ambient music will encourage rest and sleep
from mr snake, but troublesome noisy playing could lead
to a lot of trouble. In the case of some varieties, a
stinging
bite on the offending hands is the least that can be
expected. Play softly; with the right cadence, and
perfect
snake harmony is achieved. This encourages good
musicianship along with snake appreciation.
Deluxe version features extra twin cobra coils. (rotating)
Suitable accompaniment

Sounds perfect for an Asp-iring concert performer ... it will help them to perfect their scales ... |

|
Of course, in a theatrical setting where the orchestra is in front of the stage, the chosen reptile would have to be a species of Pit viper. |

(We predict a deluge of snake puns). |

I have no fear of word play. |
