Elton’s piano runs on Victron Energy

Even Elton chooses Victron it seems! Well OK this is not the man himself but a fun lookalike spied somewhere in the French Alps last week, by Jacques Noël of Victron Energy.

Victron powered

Somehow and in someway this is all powered by Victron batteries, inverters and chargers. It is hard to see and tell how, but Jacques did manage to locate the batteries as you can see below. Isn’t that a Victron inverter peeking out in the middle on the right of the photo too?

Victron Batteries

Red ‘n’ rocking

‘Elton of the Alps’ provides advertising and does some singing and karaoke. The synthesizer and mixing desk are fully functional. This red ‘n’ rocking piano is Victron energized in even more ways than that. Built in electric motors move this unique ensemble around the shopping mall – all steered and driven with a small joystick in conjunction with the piano pedals.

Can you beat it?

We hope this brief blog brings a smile to your face. So far I think this represents the most unusual and fun use of Victron Energy products yet. Can you beat it? If so let me know in the Disqus comments below.
