Well after a long time dreaming about getting a Baby Grand, today it finally happened.
I still have my Hamilton Studio as you can see on the last picture.
I am going back to play immediately but I wanted to share this with you guys cause this is very exciting for me and you guys know the feeling better than anyone else.
So here are some pictures. I didn't edit them , sorry..not in the mood for photo editing...just piano loving

















And finally the proud owner...me!


Small youtube video..sorry for the shaky video...I need to get a fast lens with stabilization..and youtube kills the IQ anyway.

Thanks for looking!

Beautiful! Congrats!

Congrats! Yes, the large images do take some time to load.

Looks great, I love the polished ebony color, that is the only color to choose when buying a piano.

Thanks!

Thanks. Yes, sorry I should have let imageshack resize but that happens when you are too hyper



I have to agree, I love that for sure although I had speakers that were polished Rosewood and were gorgeous too.

Beautiful! Enjoy!

Excellent! - Congratulations on your new baby!

Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy!

Beautiful! Congrats.

It's beautiful! Congratulations!!

Is that a humidifier next to it? Is it OK to put it that close to the piano?

Congratulations. You're going to love playing that grand.

Thanks!


Thanks!
Yes it is a humidifier. It is not a misty or warm humidifier so I am hoping it is fine there. Maybe someone will comment on it.
Thanks for mentioning it.

If it's dry, then it's perfectly fine to have it there.

Congratulations! Have fun with your baby...

I remember the time I got my first grand. It was really exciting.

You bet. I have not played this much non stop since...ever! Thanks


Thanks for the confirmation.


Oh yes I feel like a kid on Christmas! Thanks

Congrats... I thought your a Chinese kid born in 1995 Lol

hahaha no actually the shaolin comes from my Martial Arts background and 95 is the year I got my Black Belt. Thanks!

Is that you playing that piano as the background music for your video?

No but I plan to record something to upload as well...I was just in a hurry to show it to the world

Looks great!
Thanks for sharing, and for posting pictures.

Enjoy your new baby!

Oh thank you!

Do you guys recommend getting a cover for it? I dont have pets or anything but for dust. Or maybe just a bedspread?

Nah, I wouldn't get a cover. Just keep it closed when you are not playing. Dusting the top of a piano is no more diffucult than dusting your other furniture. You are going through the "OMG, new baby, what do I do now?" phase. It's quite common here at PW!

A cover is nice to have, but not necessary.

hahahaha so true!
Is like I am reading everything about cleaning and what to do and what not
BTW I have this awesome duster I user for computer work and I think it will be very nice to clean the piano too.
Electronic Duster



Sounds good then. Save some money

Oh My! You really are infected. That will be great around the tuning pins and other tight spots, but for the flat wood surfaces, it's hard to beat a Swiffer or a micro-fiber cloth.

Is it true that if you feed and care for a Baby Grand it'll grow up to be a 9' concert in about 18 years? :-)

It is true! But when the piano reaches about 7', and in full blown adolescence, they can be a lot to handle.

It better not or I would have to make the room grow too! Maybe I can keep the size down like a Bonsai

Ooh nice. Thanks for sharing!

I am just wondering what is the string length equvalent for baby grand vs vertical. 48 inch?

Steven - that should be a new thread. This is a celebration, not a Q & A.
