K9JST...love the finish, would love to hear it. Very nice and congrats. thumb

J. A. Mose...nice Yam, concerning your carpet...we chose a white westie to put under our satin ebony M&H. I really like the contrast of the black and white. Sometimes when I play though, I get a barking sound and it doesn't really seem to be present in any one particular piece. eek

cmk, what a beautiful instrument. I can almost smell the shining, brand new instrument from your photo. Congratulations! Hope you enjoy it. Tell me - can I see a small R ingraved on the right hand side of the lid? What does this letter stand for?
According to brand of dog, maybe "Nipper" will take over when my 11,5-year-old poodle retires.

Hi Mose
Thanks, yes, it is quite something. I've been on happily spending hours on it since I've taken delivery.

The small R is actually a double RR, which stands for Sauter's double repetition action, similar to grand pianos. You can read about it here :

Hey Frank...

'bout time we saw your set up!

Can you tell us about the two level set up?

Hammond XK-3 on top
Yamaha P-80 on the bottom

Both running through a Hartke KM200 (200 watt) amplifier.

Notice the AKG wireless headphones next to the keyboards, perfect for late night playing :-)

All patched through a Lexicon / Omega interface then via USB into the computer to run it through the Cubase multi-track recording software.

Knowing nothing baout pianos(here to post about buying one for my dd) I can still appreciate the beauty and workmanship of them. They are stunning! Perhaps it is my love of furniture that makes them appealing to me! You all have some beautiful instruments! I was sitting here with my mouth open in awe!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Here are a few photos of the 290. It was delivered over the summer, but I've only recently been able to take digital photos again. The room's windows are treated with a film which blocks out 50% visible light and 99.9% of the UV rays. The room faces northeast, so it never really gets direct sunlight. Everything is temperature and humidity controlled - I haven't noticed any fluctuations in tuning thus far.

Initially the piano was a bit bright in the room but after the first regulation, voicing and tuning it plays effortlessly and sounds incredible.

saxguy, stunning.

You have a lot of glass, besides the rug and drapes have you conditioned the room otherwise? Have you noticed and nasty resonance due to room acoustics?

Wish you the best, Gene
