Brent B, Thanks for your thoughts. We do like the dealer. I don't know about the difference between the RX Blak or RX-H, though. It sure helps to have you all to bounce this off of- a piano is a big purchase for us and with all the mysticism abou

At least you've got a good heads up on a bunch of pieces already. Now, if you think you'll play a bunch of the music there is always the "Best Of" Einaudi book that quite a few of us have. The Best Of Ludovico Einaudi sheet music book a

Thanks for your responses; I have found online specs for some of the models you mentioned, and found that some do have variable tuning (each company calls it something different, so it's hard to tell sometimes). I also think the salesmen at my local

Thanks for all of the input. I returned to the store today to play Petrofs, Kawais, and Bechsteins. For my taste, the Bechstein wins hands down. I just have to decide whether to spend the money or not. Ansley

I agree with the above comment about the PX-730. I recently bought the PX-330 for $100 more. I actually don't want the whole console set up but if I did I would be looking at the PX-730 at that price. It sounds like from what Sebastien said it is

Hey gang, My wife is taking up the cello, and we'd like to start playing together as she's made good progress. She's got a book of pieces for cello and piano, one of them Chopin's Op 9 no 2. Except it's in F sharp minor. I imagine the arranger did i

Thanks for the reply. I went to a local dealer today. There was a Steinway B about 8 years old. It was probably one of the most disapointing pianos I have played. Extremely dull, no real color and a very stiff action. It is on consignment, and I

I've come across an interesting piano for sale and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. It has only 76 keys and is about 52" long. I'd love to know about any issues or quirks these things have or if anyone has one. Thanks.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I had another put on my card and sent out and I'll be sending this one back. Hopefully this depressed key issue isn't common.

Fast playing requires more efficient moves than slow playing. So while you are doing your slow practice, make every move of fingers and hands simple and direct. No wasted gestures, minimize tension, stay still, but stay comfortable and never stiff. I

That's not a great price for a P250. My teacher has one that I've played, it's very nice. But the price of a CP33 is so close to $1000 that it doesn't seem to make sense to buy something that was made in 2002 for that price. If you could get the P250

Now I understand.... You were trying to find a reason to justify getting the new piano sooner rather than later. If only everyone that had a problem with a single key persued buying a new piano, we owners of piano stores would be in luck!

Thanks for the advice! From what you say, the Trumpet sounds like quite a good option, whereas the Horn does not... I have indeed heard that the embouchure is a lot more important when playing Horn over Trumpet, which is something that puts me off; I

You know, I'm not entirely convinced the Chopin has a rhythm guitar now that I listen to these closely again. The player is doing the bass line on the lower strings with his thumbpick. That's what I get for writing before I listen again...

Quite the decent price on the Walter. I'm biased, but I would be leaning towards the Walter as well. I agree with Kurtman... it IS a no-brainer.

Yep, RX-3 but make sure you have it checked out. I am sure the YUS5 would be a great choice as well. Have fun.

Looking at a 1980 UX-3 for $4,800. The piano sounds very nice. It is pristine and looks like it was rarely played. My research indicates that it is grey market as it was made for the Japanese market. The X bracing was used for tuning stability, a
