Hi Greeb, I hope you don't mind, but I uploaded your photos to my site to post them here. What a gorgeous piano!

This is a gorgeous instrument. Do you know the year of manufacture?

We have another discussion going on about this piano titled "importing piano from Mexico" From that discussion I learned it had to predate 1852 because it is signed "J Chickering" and the company became "Chickering and Sons" in that year. http://picasaweb.google.com/eMichaelWeddington/ChickeringPiano/photo#5078922476423662930 It appears to me that over stringing doesn't add much length to the strings. You can see by imagining an arch drawn by the longest string to the position it would be in if it were straight. The idea is that the bridge is more in the center of the sound board thus sounds better. There is a recording of Gottschalk music made on a piano that is similar to this one that is in the Smithsonian. It is wonderfully alive and powerful. It said on the cover notes that during recording the engineer measured levels of sound at a peak of 113 decibels. I think it has all of the power of a concert instrument.  http://picasaweb.google.com/eMichaelWeddington/ChickeringPiano/photo#5078971606554561890

http://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/IMG_0168.JPG Bought this 7 yr old scratchless Yamaha C2 7 days ago. 100 yr anniversary edition...rich low frequencies and soft midtones. Bought for my daughter, but she's having a tough time getting it from me. I'm not very good, but 90 minutes a day for a week has produced (8 measures) of the 2nd movement of Beethoven's "Pathatique". Love seeing all your pianos. Only 8 more weeks to go..then the work really begins!

I'm guessing grand owners have pretty decent paying jobs. Their homes are as gorgeous as the piano themselves if you noticed.
I guess for those without high paying jobs, it takes a few decades of saving up. I come from a very low income family so it won't be awhile until I can consider getting a grand piano. I do dream to have one someday. I'll have to worry about paying my student loans first. That and getting a house big enough for a grand. :X
The funny thing... I asked my piano professor whether I should buy a piano. She recommended that if I were to save up, I should go for a grand piano suggesting, "Well... I guess you could start a piggy bank and perhaps someday you will be able to buy one". I couldn't help but chuckle at that. The funny thing, I've been getting tempted to buy an actual piggy bank. I'd like to see how much I can fill it up over a period of some years.

I find that money market accounts work better than piggy banks!

Greetings  Can't show you much of the room unfortunately, I have to admit I must do it up with more musical features like the stuff I've seen so far My Kawai RX5 (without the PR-1 attached) -  PS. The piano has been relocated with the straight side against the wall now... but I'll have pics of that later

My piano was purchased with the house as the owner wanted to sell it too so my parents bought mine for me as a present. unfortunately, I won't be able to keep this piano much longer because I will be moving back to singapor. My dad has contemplated moving the piano back with the rest of the things but the issue is that in the end, we might have to worry about being able to move it in when we get our proper home so we don't know yet... on the side, my dad is willing to buy my a new Petrof P131 M1 upright which is a really nice piano and i've never gotten a new piano before

It took a long time before I was in a position to purchase an instrument I would be happy to play everyday. Here is mine, a Schimmel NWS 213 2007. http://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/Schimmel_7\'_s.jpg
