Wikipedia[2] dates the design to 1997; no launch day or event is given in the sources read, so the pin sits on 1 January 1997 as an estimate.Luigi Colani designed the Pegasus grand piano with Schimmel in 1997, a glass-and-curves reinvention of the piano that Prince and Eddie Murphy later bought. Only a handful have been built, though sources disagree on how many.
