haha... is this how you treat new people to this forum who do not speak English as their first language? pathetic. Are you jealous that I can afford it or what? i will post a picture of it when the piano arrives and you are gonna apologize to me  How would we know your native language. Your profile is empty. Using childish, and overly familiar, phrases with people you don't know -- "hey dude" -- won't endear you to many. Going on the attack, "are you jealous," is a guarantee to bother people, even if you think you were provoked. Oh, and having a thin skin like that is another way to get ignored very quickly. Enjoy your piano when it arrives. My point is that you cant have english as your first language if you type like me, and plays piano. If you cant figure that out you are not very smart. dude is not childish its used IN VARIOUS AGE GROUPS... do you know anything? It was even made for and by adults. "The word dude is an American English slang term generally used informally to address or refer to somebody and was once used primarily by adults but this has become a common slang term used in various age groups." People dont use "are you jealous" because they are provoked. They use it to find out why you seemed to provoke someone a whole lot. i dont have thin skin. You think people that defend them self have thin skin? That seems weird. It is the people that stand up for what is right that are the heroes. We are the ones that have the thickest skin of all.

If I'd had around 33,000€ to blow on an upright I would have tried out a Bluthner B and the new S, a Steingraeber 138, a Grotrian Concertino, a Bosendorfer and a Pfeiffer - but perhaps you did.

I paid 33 300 dollars for a new black polished concert 8. Is that a good deal? cant someone else here tell me what you paid? 33,000 dollars, euros, or what?????? Just curious - why did you decide to spend so much on an upright as opposed to buying a grand? Space considerations? Nevertheless, I'm sure it is a wonderful instrument !!

Ofc I meant euros, my mistake. I just think grand pianos looks so ugly. I've always considered grand pianos to be fake and upright to be the real deal. But I did check out some grands but in the end i just hate them to much. Upright is a more royal instrument and just plain better.

I've read thousands upon thousands of posts on PW over the last 6 years and this truly takes first prize as the most ridiculous post I've ever read here. It's obvious that you have more money than you know how to spend intelligently. Or as it was suggested earlier, you're just a sock puppet having fun wasting people's time. If that's the case then hey, knock yourself out.

Upright is a more royal instrument and just plain better. Faker or nutter. Either way, a waste of space. Ignore him.
