This specific image is actually from a completely different event, it was a contestant in the Cincinnati World Piano Competition.

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/arts/2015/06/12/world-piano-competition-fingers-bleed/71132872/

~~The pianist cut his pinky with one of the bass keys~~

“The edge of the key was very sharp. I landed at an angle on the edge of the key, which sliced the finger like a knife.”

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
