A Backwards piano?

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

According to Fine in the '07-'08 Supplement pg28, Bluthner has built 
a piano that is completely "backwards" especially for left-handed 
pianists.  It apparently was showcased in a concert where the pianist 
only had a few hours to practice (I'd like to meet him/her.)  This 
piano is reported to be available by special order in 6'10", and 9'2" sizes.
