I'm really trying to follow advice given previously about testing as many pianos as possible as I shop for a grand, including high end/out of reach and (much) more affordable for my budget. For the latter category, does anyone have experience with o

Well, this attempt didn't go nearly as well as hoped. A couple of real ugly flubs in spots that don't warrant flubs. Anyway I would like some feedback on tempo, dynamics, overall interpretation. It's a work in progress needing some more work. Curre

In the same time continuum I once had two top techs that worked for me. One was obsessed with weighing and measuring every thing in every step he took in regulation. The other did it by sense of smell (Tommy). Both got great results.

As many of you know Bluthner makes a left handed piano(with the key order reversed). I don't get it, except as an experiment. First, there is the cost. Bluthner makes this only for its largest two models which are already very expensive(and I assum

Maybe an oversight omiting Baldwin and Bosendorfer. It is just the small numbers that bump them from my list. There are many world class instruments that didn't make my list. I was just thinking of demand.

I went and played the PX-130 and decided it's the one I will be getting. It's got a nice piano sound, and that's the only one I'm interested in. But the advice to go play it is good: as has been noted here, the action is a bit heavy (fine with me, bu

If you made a list of the 10 greatest techs you knew(not rebuilders... but those who tune, regulate and voice), which of their abilities/talents do you think are the most crucial. Here are some I thought of: aural ability, mechanical ability, traini

Gyro, if you can't sight read you have not tried hard enough or been properly instructed. Anyone can learn to sight read, even an adult, and in my opinion it's an extremely important skill. Maybe that's why it's taking you so long to learn a piece.
