Piganino
- ... that further nicknames used for the fictitious musical instrument Piganino (pictured) were "Hog Harmonium", "Swineway" or "Porko Forte"?
- alt1 ... that the noise of a Piganino (pictured) allowed Denis Diderot to cover printing his forbidden Encyclopédie in the French film Le Libertin?

Date, length OK. The article is neutral, amusing and interesting, it is well cited, and I could detect no copyvio. Both hooks are confirmed by offline sources, which I AGF. The image is also amusing and is in the PD. I prefer ALT1 as it is more quirky. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:07, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
- Even after reading the article I'm not sure ALT1 makes a lot of sense. I'm not against the basic concept of ALT1, but the wording, well, how about this... Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:03, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- ALT2 ... that in the French film Le Libertin, the noise of the mythical instrument Piganino (pictured) was used to drown out the sound of the printing presses making Denis Diderot's forbidden Encyclopédie?
Sorry to come in and rain on the parade, (and I think the hook is a real eye-catcher) but per Wikipedia:Did you know#Content, the hook for a article about an element of fiction must in some way involve the real world. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 22:05, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- What does the "real world" mean in this context? Do you have an example I could look at? Maury Markowitz (talk) 22:14, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Maury Markowitz: It means something like, for instance, details about writing a book, filming a movie, where the idea for a certain fictional character came from, etc. Take a look at this DYK I was involved in for a concrete example of a hook being rejected for this reason.

- Fair enough, I'm out.
