Hi there,

In the Netherlands there is a new pianomagazine.

Look at

Pianist Dutch magazine

Best regards,

So what will they cover? The webpage is not revealing much.

I look forward to seeing more about them. Thank you.

It would appear that this is a Dutch language version of the well-established and popular Pianist piano magazine, which exists in English and French.
I'd be surprised also if there wasn't a German, and Italian version etc.
I have the latest French version. One of the interesting articles this month relates to the 70th anniversary D-Day Normandy landings, and in particular the GI pianos - the S&S 104 cm upright 'Victory' model 40.
It would appear that 2436 pianos were produced, over 2200 of which were the 'drab olive' colour. (I note there was a thread here on these pianos in Sept 2010 together with photos).
The very detailed and well illustrated article in the current French version of the magazine, informs that the Victory was also produced in grey, blue-grey, dark-blue, medium-blue, and black, all in vary limited numbers for the different military services.
Other articles cover the various summer musical festivals, masterclasses, and the stimulating title 'Music & Wine in Tuscany'.
Stimulating indeed! In fact I'm just off to pour myself a glass of wonderful French red Madiran, with a re-read of Perri's Grand Obsession.
Cheers!

There is also a facebook community..........
