bechstein.

With the one possible exception of the Voyager and Voyager 2 spacecraft (they're actually identical), this is the crowning achievement of all humanity (and, like the Voyager spacecraft, a culmination of science and beauty) ~

Enormous power. Cannot be described.

And well, coupled with L.v. Beethoven's F-minor sonata as performed by Wilhelm Backhaus (on a Bechstein, and no – that's no coincidence).

We humans truly are capable of astounding things.
