other than the keys... the support for the lid is at the wrong angle
(lean in just a *tad*- ie a more acute angle to than it is currently to
the inside of the piano) and most supports also have an inner support
that is apperent which would hold the lid up at about a 7 degree angle.
The angle your full open is at is about right... oh, most supports are
*not* thin metal as yours is, in fact I have only ever encountered
wooden supports that would be wider and flatter than yours.

From your camera angle you would normally be able to see the stringgs
contained within, they are usually less than 6 inches below the lip for
obvious reasons (sonority and projection mean neither too high nor too
low, you want to use the wood and metal as sounding material).

Distance from the keys to the lid is too much proportionally.  The
keyboard lid is missing, either a simply lid or folding lid (the tip
folds down and in) should be there. Music holderis not wide enough, I
*think* you would just about want to double it.  At any rate the
mechanisms of the sheet holder are all missing

Far leg appears to be in the wrong place, nowhere near the end of the
last curve.  Leg shapes are fine, loads of art goes into them sometimes,
from ornate carving to wierd inverted seashell curves and such.

Yours appears to be a baby grand thus if you do decide to model the
strings you will need to show that the treble ends angle in over the
bass end strings and are not straight key to curve affairs

Lids usually have foldup and lay-flat pieces which, when you close the
lid come up to cover the strings and over the folded down manuscript
holder.  This is another nod to sonority.

Hm... I didn't mention the keys... so nyah! :o)
