Absolutely. Soundboards last indefinitely if the conditions are good.

Greg: The version I use is correctly keyed, and that's how I listen to it rendered by Pianoteq. The only wrongly keyed version I have ever heard is on the Sampletekk site. Having grown up in the household of a classical piano teacher (my mother),

I apologise for the mis-information - I had wrongly assumed from the Roland website that all PHA II (non-Alpha) actions had the escapement feature. Greg.

I've heard that pianos that spent their life in a desert climate tend to have better soundboards when they reach old age than ones that lived in a humid climate.

If your teacher has a depth of experience with several Estonias of the same size her opinion might have some weight. Likely this is not the case. The Estonia is a wonderful piano.

CLP340 is a good choice, as long as you like playing it. $2400 is a fair price for a new one or maybe a slight used? maybe you could bargain down $100-200 with the dealer.

Functioning properly is a matter of degree. A SB that age will likely not have the crown and sustaining properties of a new or newer board. Is still produces a tone and has some degree of sustain.

Chopin Gal, I'm also in the DC area, probably intermediate-advanced level also (though a lot older than you!). Maybe we could do a joint recital, or get some others interested. What do you think? P.S. Setting a date to get anything done is always a

I have hosted my own recital, and I have a few friends who have done so, too. Yes, setting the date is a great motivator. While it may differ for you, I had my repertoire pretty well in hand before setting the recital date, as I did not want to b

The PHA III action has 3 sensors to the II's 2. The third sensor is functionally equivalent to the repetition lever on an acoustic grand action, allowing faster repetition without fully releasing the key or allowing the damper to touch the strings. I

Thanks, Horowitzian, for taking the time to check the facts. I had the same funny feeling that the "39 out of 40" stat was wide of the mark. I wasn't ambitious enough to go back and check all of the prelim. performances. But I did review

So you aren't allowed to play in recital with her other students? If that's true, I can see nothing wrong in setting up recital opportunities for yourself, if you can get an audience!

Cruising the net, I see some piano dealers offering 100 year old Steinways with original sound boards and describing these sound boards as in "perfect" condition. Can a 100 year old sound board still function properly? What do you think?
