Rickster 6000 Post Club Member Registered: 03/25/06 Posts: 6030 Loc: Georgia	Sounds great! It's hard to get much better than that, if you ask me! My C7 may not sound quite that good, but close!

Annitenth Full Member Registered: 12/27/08 Posts: 257 Loc: Texas	I've been wanting to ask this for ages: Can you people really tell anything from these recordings? Do you have super speaker set-ups? All I have is the little speakers that came with my computer, and I can hardly tell this C7 from an old honkytonk upright. So I rarely bother to click on the links you people provide. Tell me I'm not alone in this. _________________________ Anne Bösendorfer 225 Technics PCM Digital Ensemble PR307

Entheo 500 Post Club Member Registered: 01/12/04 Posts: 797 Loc: chicago, il	with the high quality of sound available on the interweb (e.g. iTunes, spotify, youtube etc.) it behooves one to upgrade to an external sound system (or as ape suggests, get some decent headphones). lots or reasonably priced satellite systems from e.g. logitech. i happen to have a JBL satellite system w/subwoofer for my primary PC. _________________________ Diary of an Amateur Pianist

I have an old honkytonk upright too! But I can assure you there is a huge difference between the C7 and my saloon piano. Rick Edit I've gotten more views (23,936) on my YouTube video of me playing my saloon piano than I have of any of my videos playing my C7... is there a message/lesson in that somewhere?

apple* Yikes! 10000 Post Club Member Registered: 01/01/03 Posts: 19476 Loc: Kansas	you are a great uncle.. C7s are fantastic instruments.... maybe throw in a vintage oriental carpet, (heck it could be a knock off from Sam's Club) to absorb some of the brightness too. _________________________ accompanist/organist.. a non-MTNA teacher to a few love and peace, Õun (apple in Estonian)

Brendan 4000 Post Club Member Registered: 05/26/01 Posts: 4790 Loc: McAllen, TX	What does a new C7 retail for, and what is the "do not go below" price for the dealer? I might buy one soon! _________________________ http://www.BrendanKinsella.com
