It calls to mind yet another way in which the ad could have been crafted to communicate without controversy or offense -- the instruments could have been more obviously cartoons.

Why wouldn't them? It might be cheaper and more realistic for this scene.

The giant press might be CGI. But some closeups look real. Like the paint cans exploding over the piano:
