i’ve seen a lot of posts about how OFMD sticks to the lore of being set in 1717 only when relevant, and i have to concur. However as a music student, there are some things i can weigh in on. Namely, after my most recent rewatch, Stede’s ‘death’. Pianos, rather than harpsichords, are estimated to have been invented around the early 1700s. Upright pianos certainly were not common (aka the type Stede had dropped on ‘his body’ to confirm his death after the leopard and the carriage) because early pianofortes (or fortepianos, as the early models were) were modeled after harpsichords, and turned into the grand pianos we see today.
however, I can believe that Stede somehow commissioned and used an upright piano just to pioneer the comedic gag that is being crushed by a piano, because thats just the sort of dramatic fuck that he is.
godspeed, my weird little dramatic homosexual.
