Here is my little kingdom.

Oh! What? That Roland looks the business. Wouldn't mind gigging that . . . .

Cool piano, but I also like that artwork on the wall. Is that a print?

Sam

Yes it's a print. I call it "TheProfessor". It goes well in the room.

Ooh I love to see pics... I'll play. Come on, keep it going.

Great pics, everyone. My dear, shortly after unpacking.

It's a repost, but I'm proud of her. Mabel after her recent tuneup:

OK, I will play. Here is my little practice corner. The Avant Grand is against the back wall for silent practice.

Nice! The dog matches the couch which matches the carpet! What are those things under the piano? Chinese dragons?

Sam

A Fandrich! Now that's a rare piano...

My beloved Kawai and my current teacher

Why is Mabel naked?

what's the kitty teacher's name? She/he looks just like my dearly departed cat, Panda. He also loved piano!

Thanks Sam, I shall try posting pics of my new Hailun.

His name is Bidule (I guess it would translate to "Thingy") he also very much love the piano (which shows a lot of courage on his side considering my level) and often lie on the wooden part over the pedals when I play. He has a sister who exceptionally wasn't around for the photo

Thanks and they are Foo Dogs.

The piano (a Baldwin L, 1954, new hammers, keytops, bushings by me) and the speakers (E-V Patrician 800s) were a real score from a surplus auction at Western KY University where I work.

I got the piano for $500 (about $3000 total invested, including moving, at this point). The Speakers for $70. It was a good day. :-)

Forrest, I can't get over what a bargain you got in your Baldwin L. That kind of price is just unheard of, on average. I suppose, every once in a while, the anomaly deal comes along. (I'm jealous )

Beautiful piano and a beautiful home!!

Woodog - love that green color on the walls. Now that would go well with my Bechstein and it's green felt!

This is also how the music stand on my upright was fixed. The lip was held on by #4 brass wood screws into the "end grain" of medium density fiberboard. Between the mdf and the tiny threads there was no grip at all and they pulled out without damaging the surrounding wood. When the dealer's casework man came out, he ran some CA into the same holes and used the next size up wood screw. Two years later and no more problems. My model building brother tells me that this is a common practice for getting screws to hold in balsa flying models as well.
