Well wheh I say new I mean she's a few weeks old, but I was apprehensive about posting hereas it all seems to be mainly guitars...

Anywho she's a Kohler and Campbell ebony and ivory beauty.

Nice

There aren't enough of the "minority" instruments on this forum

Creamy Goodness · 14-02-2006 11:16pm

looks lovely, if it's one thing i'd love to do it would be to learn the piano but i've never had the chance.

LIZ GOT A NEW PIANOOOOOOOO

If only i knew how to play piano...

Rustar · 15-02-2006 5:43am

Beautiful instrument! Enjoy!

I agree, Doc, we need more peenanners and sassaphones here.

I know nothing about pianos, but is it a good idea to have it up against a window like that? I'd have thought it'd be better to keep it away from places where it might suffer from condensation, etc.

And if the sun shines in on it, it might damage the finish

plus there's usually radiators under windows:)

That's a pretty funny looking guitar. :eek:

Just kidding. I'd love to learn piano. I might give it a go this summer.

mickymg2003 · 15-02-2006 3:42pm

Nice. How much did it set you back? If you dont mind me asking?

bounty_hunter · 15-02-2006 6:34pm

That's gorgeous! I'd ****ing love a new piano.

david · 15-02-2006 6:58pm

That carpet isnt very rock though

Piste · 15-02-2006 7:15pm

Dubwhite: I hadn't thought about that, but it's the only space in the house for it. As regards sunshine that room doesn't get much light in winter as it is westerly-facing, but I'll probably shut the curtains in summer when there is sun in the evening

Mickymg2003: I'm not too sure, my parents bought it for me. I'd been asking them for a piano for ages as I cant improve my playing with just a keyboard so I came home one day and my mum said "We bought you a piano, also you're grounded for the next few days" I think it was around €2,500 though.

Dave: My carpet is plenty rock. In fact it's so rock I take it to every concert I'm at. If you knew the things that went on there...

LundiMardi · 15-02-2006 7:31pm

jaysus! you got some nice parents.

Piste · 15-02-2006 11:32pm

Well I'm 14 like, they can hardly expect me to pay for it meself

Don't forget us Bassoonists!

Beautiful piano by the way, what does it sound like?

i would imagine it sounds like a piano:0

Piste · 17-02-2006 9:42pm

Yes it does sound quite piano-like

The resistance on it is slightly more than on the piano I have my lessons on and probably the piano I'l be doing exams on so It should be easier to play my pieces on them.

It has a very nice, clear, rich sound about it, so much notably different to my keyboard. ^^

Prob find it hard switching over. I did when I got my piano. Kept getting cramps in my left hand after playing for a while. Biggers keys and stretches. Also the only real way to improve is on a proper piano or on a very good weighted digital piano. Good luck with it anyway and stick with it. I played for a year when I was 12, then gave it up to play guitar. Only started playing again since christmas. Totally regret giving it up for all those years
