Way more. Just a hair under 9 ft.

So do I--a wiring diagram! The one person I don't want ringing it rung it Thursday!

That open shot is my favorite, too.

My piano is /not/ a pretty one, so view at your own risk.

You people with your pretty grand pianos. :p I'm saving up for a new upright, this one's really starting to die.

Prophetic,

What are you talking about it's not pretty? It's a nice old piano. A piano doesn't have to shine to be pretty. It's pretty in it's own way. It's got some history, and a little nostalgic behind it. Thanks for taking the time to share your pictures.

The dents tend to distract me. And so do the constantly sustained notes in the upper register. It can be nice once in a while, of course. Thanks though. ;D I'm working on websized pictures instead of grainy hi res

WOW!! Beautiful piano Chickgrand. Now that's what I call substance, it must weigh a ton, at least.

Vintagefingers,

Where are your photos?

Well to be honest Mazersteven, I expected to post them well before this but I have yet to receive delivery of my soup to nuts rebuilt vintage Chickering. It has been delayed 4 times over the past 2 months for various reasons, mostly scheduling. I was expecting it this past Thursday until I received a call from the rebuilder that it would be delayed another week due to separation of a small section of the veneer on the lid which had to be re-glued and laquered. He wanted to wait another week before delivery to give the laquer time to harden up a bit. I'm expecting delivery this coming Saturday. I have my fingers crossed that I don't receive a late Sunday call like I did last week delaying it yet again.

Wanna see photos of my 1955 Kimball console?

Vintagefingers,

Sorry to hear about your delivery troubles. Yes 1955 Kimball. And remember to post here new pics of new Chickering.

My Walter 190, with the (I hope) soon to be replaced crummy curtains.

Dan M,

Nice instrument. Thanks for posting.

"drug of choice" Ha Ha Nice.

I see you have no carpet under piano, just hardwood flooring. I have read where a carpet helps the soundboard, and acoustics. Have you tried one or not. I know it's hard to cover up hardwood floors, they are so beautiful. But if it helps the sound of the piano.

Mazer,
I haven't tried a rug yet, but we are planning on putting them all over the place including under the piano. Haven't had the time to buy them yet.

Hey Dan,

Nice lamp

And a photo of my 7' Schimmel.

ThomD,

I'm lucky the blinds where closed. What a shine on that baby. WOW. Nice picture.

Oh, you people who are computer literate, I bow my head in reverence to you all. I wanted to post a picture of my new Estonia here, but cannot quite crack the code. (It was soooo much easier on Estoniaworld!) Anyway, I assume you are all DYing to see my new 6000 dollar baby, so click on the following link and enjoy!

Well, I tried the link, and it doesn't work. Sorry, you all have to log in to Estoniaworld to get your exitement.

just scroll down...

wldrumstcs,

Thanks for posting. Looks like a big home. A Steinway nice. Microphones? Are they just to amplify sound, or to go through your home sound system?

Some photos of my Shigeru SK6 (7 foot grand)

Here are a few better pictures of my piano (sorry for the crummy quality and the weird light distortion on the left side of my piano. Oh, and our walls are not really vomit-pink, it's just the flash):

Hamiltonian,

That is a Beautiful Piano. Period
That first picture is nice with the stairway in the back. That don't look like a Texas ranch. LOL

From the Kawai Web-site:

Of all the musical masterpieces that come forth from Kawai, fewer than one in one hundred will bear the name SHIGERU. Meticulously handcrafted in carefully limited numbers, the SHIGERU piano brings to fruition a century of advancement, knowledge and craftsmanship. It is the culmination of one man's destiny... born to fulfill the lifelong dreams of the pianist.
