I have mild tinnitus; it comes and goes and only started a few months ago. But I do notice that after practice sessions, I can usually "hear" it. It wouldn't surprise me if you play loudly in a small room it could impact it. For me, I don'

Adding about the qualifications of people like Slatkin -- whether or not they're pianists -- I just want to say that speaking as a pianist, I think the whole "isn't a pianist" thing is pretty much garbage. There are plenty of pianists on a

I'm not as well versed on pricing as I once was. OTOH, when the event occurred that I mentioned, I could have bought a Bechstein for darn near that and I know I could have bought a Hoffman for less than $20K. Regardless, this is kinda like asking a

I read Mr. Akins' reply with absolute disbelief. But, in fact, there are those at PW who firmly believe that manufacturers are incapable of building fine pianos. It's the "anything you can do, I can do better" syndrome. Sarcasm didn't ev
