Whenever Lucerne is mentioned, I remember last summer's splendid meal by the water's edge and feeding the ducks. Sigh... Michael, do you ever play Liszt's les cloches de Genève? You should! Speaking of Swiss lakes, another favorite is Liszt's Au lac de Wallenstadt. If you've ever seen the surface of that lake, you'll know why he wrote groups of seven for the left hand! Oh. Stay on topic. Well, I don't have a photo of my home pianos - I'll have to do something about that! :rolleyes:

WB, you must be a proud father. Those are some good looking kids you have there. CC2, thanks for the additional info. With so many wonderful distractions I cannot imagine how you get anything else done. JP

Some can tell you to go to heck in such a manner that you would think you might actually enjoy the trip, but that is far more polite than civil - JBryan

OMG YOU ALL HAVE GRAND PIANOS!!

We all practice on uprights, but I do NOT even have an upright. I do have, however, Yamaha P-80. And I don't have space nor money for a grand.

Gosh, what a pleasure it would be to play on some of those pianos. I'm certain they sound as beautiful as they look.
Up until about grade 3, I was learning on a Yamaha keyboard without weighted keys. I was lucky to get to play a real piano twice a week.
Now, I'm slightly better off. I have a Roland digital piano, with properly weighted keys and a tone that actually resembles that of a piano... Still, I would love to be able to wake up and practice on a beautiful grand piano.

Kawai CP175 with Muse Receptor and Akoustic Piano VST Software You depress me, sir. But well-done, indeed.  (I could take a picture of a picture of a piano, but that'd be about all I have to work with....)
Every day we are afforded a new chance. The problem with life is not that you run out of chances. In the end, what you run out of are days.
