Today, the Key Room is highlighting a set of keys that
cannot open a physical door, but can unlock the doors to inspiration and
creativity. The keys in mention are a set of seven piano keys (keys 33-39 to be
exact) from one of the first grand pianos in Denver, CO donated to the Key Room by Ray Hamilton.
*Interesting fact: The piano has earned the moniker “The
King of Instruments” primarily for its wide tonal range. The piano can reach
the lowest note of the contrabassoon and the highest note of the piccolo. There
is no other orchestral instrument that can match its complete tonal range.
Though I could not
find any information on who Ray Hamilton was, we here at the Inn are very
appreciative of his donation and proud to have it displayed in the “Musical
Keys” section of our Key Room.
Come See!
