Looks nice already! I modelled a piano once, too, you can find a 
rendered image of it at

The source code can be found in the POV-Wiki, at

IMHO, most of a piano's beautiful look is due to it's shiny and 
reflective surfaces. What I did when trying to get them right was to 
round almost every edge/corner in the model (that's some nasty modelling 
job, especially with the keys), play with the textures (as with every 
model) and to use HDRI (available in the latest MegaPOV, 
megapov.inetart.net) for the rendering.


HTH, keep us updated with your progress!
