About this pattern

A small upright piano seen from the front, in brown wood with a black outline. A white sheet of music with two black lines stands on a ledge on the upper panel. Below it the keyboard stands out one stitch at each side: a red strip along the back of the keys, then white keys with seven black keys in a group of two, a group of three and a group of two. Under the keyboard a brown leg stands at each end, and two small gold pedals sit in an opening at the foot between them. The piano is the same on the left and the right. Full crosses only. It is 21 by 25 stitches and uses five thread colors.

21 stitches wide by 25 high: 476 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Black 310, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Winter White 3865 and 2 more).
