Chopinlover49 Full Member Registered: 08/17/11 Posts: 207 Loc: upstate New York	I played a 7' something C Bechstein this fall and would have moved heaven and earth to buy it, but alas, I am not strong enough. I also liked the Academy series 6' something Bechstein which was much closer to my budget, but I really don't know what all the differences are between the high line and the Academy. Can anyone explain? _________________________ Still looking for that special piano

Yeah, the green felt...there's "something" about it; that stuff totally gives the piano its unique sound. _________________________ Pianist, teacher, internet addict Guest contributor - Acoustic and Digital Piano Buyer Bechstein A190 #192939, coming soon (search thread) Schimmel 130T #339100, Casio px-200 @ home Steinway A #585209, Baldwin F #192164 @ work

terminaldegree 2000 Post Club Member Registered: 05/03/06 Posts: 2062 Loc: western Wisconsin	Sorry to bump my own thread (tacky, I know), but I forgot to add one more thank you before I let this fade away into the archives: To Sally Phillips, who worked for Bechstein at the time my piano was built. She did some initial prep with the piano. You are one awesome lady, and definitely my kind of tech! For the record, she was the first one to correctly guess the outcome of my piano search with just the serial number. It's funny how far this forum reaches in our little world of pianos...
