Nice.  Using wrinkles, instead of a wood texture makes for an
interesting look.

Not being a piano player, I might be wrong, but don't they usually have
three pedals?

I like it too.  Got a bench in the works?  I don't know pianos beyond what
my mother has (grandmother and sister too), but they are 3 foot pedals not
just the two.  Low, all, and high reverb I guess.
Your wood texture takes some getting used to but it does look nice to me,
albeit so clean that I expect to see reflection.  A good candidate for a
little of MegaPov's blurred reflection perhaps (in a scene) except for
slowing the render up.
You'll probably need to increase the AA sampling depth to more than 3x3 for
those fine lines inbetween the keys.
There's my few comments anyway.

Really nice, now all you need is an interesting room to put it
in.

The finish is very convincing as it emerges from the gloom.  The cast shadows
are a little disconcerting.  The wrinkle texture looks like faux graining.

My piano only has two pedals - damper and sustain. Never having used a third
pedal I'm not entirely clear on it's function but my understanding is that
it allows sustain for a selection rather than all notes played (called
sotenuto pedal).

Are your pedals that far apart ?

The lines between the keys need to be made more visible towards the top end.
