介绍（中）	这种小型立式钢琴，被称为改良的"长颈鹿"钢琴。像高得多的长颈鹿一样，表壳是不对称的，遵循从最长（低音）到最短（高音）弦的琴弦长度所形成的形状。非常不寻常的是，这架钢琴的琴弦是水平放置而不是垂直放置的。最长的绳子位于表壳的顶部，利用了表壳的长角度。最短的弦位于音板底部最靠近琴键的位置。技术描述：改良的长颈鹿钢琴，弦向高音倾斜，软木和橡木外壳上的红木贴面，浅木条纹，键上方前面板内的红色coth，方形截面的蜿蜒双基座腿，带有斜面，蛇形担架支撑七弦琴形踏板七弦琴，也贴面和镶嵌;指南针FF-g4（75键），象牙色天然，乌木滑过深色的意外块;两个踏板，右提升阻尼器，左踏板功能未确定;德国 stehende（直立）动作，带擒纵机构和回拨;金属卡普塞尔;叶状锤头对接加重，便于击锤返回;金属贴纸激活安装在 Kapsel 上的杠杆，将毛毡衬里的阻尼器从绳子上抬起;长方形穿孔调音销;最低的七个音符单串，用黄铜缠绕;接下来的 36 个音符双串;最高 32 个音符三重串;琴弦在挂钩周围传递（而不是单独挂钩），除了三弦音符中的第三个，它像调音针一样缠绕在穿孔的挂钩上;七根缠绕的绳子与传统孔眼单独挂钩。
介绍（英）	This small upright piano, is referred to as a modified "giraffe" piano. Like the much taller giraffes, the case is assymetrical, following the shape created by the length of the strings from the longest (bass) to the shortest (treble) strings. Quite unusually, the strings of this piano are placed horizontally instead of vertically. The longest string is at the top of the case, taking advantage of the long angle of the case. The shortest string is at the bottom of the soundboard closest to the keys. Technical description: modified giraffe piano with strings angled toward the treble, rosewood veneer over softwood and oak case, light wood striping, red coth within front panel above keys, sinuous double pedestal legs of square section with beveled, serpentine stretcher supporting lyre-shaped pedal lyre, also veneered and inlaid; Compass FF-g4 (75 keys), ivory naturals, ebony slips over dark-stained accidental blocks; two pedals, right lifting dampers, left pedal function not determined; German stehende (upright) action with escapement and backcheck; metal kapsels; lobed hammer butt weighted to facilitate hammer return; metal stickers activate kapsel-mounted levers that lift felt-lined dampers away from strings; oblong pierced tuning pins; lowest seven notes single-strung, wound with brass; next 36 notes double-strung; highest 32 notes triple-strung; strings pass around hitchpins (as opposed to being hitched individually) except for the third of triple-strung notes which wrap around pierced hitchpins much like tuning pins; seven overwound strings hitched individually with conventional eyelets.
