This build is identical to the Grand Piano (NBC_017) build. The only difference is that in NBC_017, the main color is black. In this build, the black bricks are white. However, the instructions are identical.
The build begins with creating the main body of the piano. It is a simple three-layer brick structure that can easily be built on the nanoblock pad.
Next, the legs are added. It is a little hard to see where exactly to connect the bricks to the main body. Getting things lined up is important because the main piano can be connected to a 10×10 base that is provided with the kit.
The next part is the trickiest part of the build. It is building the piano cover. It is tricky because it isn’t actually connected to the main body of the piano. The large section can be built on the nanoblock pad. It was straightforward, but getting a clean line at the edge of the top section was a bit tricky. The top section lays at angles on the top of the piano. It creates the image that the Grand Piano is open.
The final step is to build the stool for the piano. It is very straightforward.
Things I liked:
- I like how the piano appears to be open even though it is created by just laying a section on top of another section
Things I didn’t like:
- I don’t like how there is a base for the piano but not the stool, so the matching set is at different heights
