What A Picture This Would Have Made...

Imagine seeing 54 baby grand pianos lined up...
Would be news worthy and surely intriguing!

I can imagine it alright... photographer in a cherry picker at the end of union quay, asking overworked piano delivery people to line up the piano's to exact specification. I'll be amazed if Dan Linehan or whats his name the other fella in the Cork new photographer monopoly didn't get a few shots of it.

Where are your liathroidí, rymus!?
Surely you could blag your way in?
You'd need to wait until they're all setup though.

You can blag your way into anything if your kit (camera/balls/beard) is big enough. Keep an eye on the back of the examiner over the next week or so. Dan is bound to have captured it.

ah no.. Dan's a very nice guy. Really... Met him a few times. Always willing to share info. Never shares that much info on how he manages to get so many photos printed on the back of the paper tho.. Hmm, odd that.

He's one of the few staff photographers, isn't he?

If they have any staff photographers left... The whole thing wound down a good number of years ago.

OMG!!!!!!! :drool: who needs L lenses when you could have a Steinway, or 57 of them!!!! I think I might need to sit down.

Calina · 27-06-2007 5:35pm

Actually, I prefer Kawaiis to Steinways. And some of the Yamaha grands are nice as well.

hhmmmm I dunno! Maybe its just cos a steinway was the first BG that I got to play. Such a beautiful sound!! Personal taste like everything else I guess

I found the Steinways a little bright for my liking. It's been a while since I played any piano though.

Richard Mills has a photo on page 2 in the Echo of one of them being tuned.
I'd have liked to see something a bit more colourful - a baby grand on a forklift or something.

I dont remember the first Steinway that I played but we had a Yahama MIDI in college and it was just lovely but the Steinways are just so wonderfully rich and colourful. Couple of expert pianists on here that will no doubt have a view on this!! It can be like PC vs Mac sometimes

So, Steve, any opinions? hehe! And don't go all Korg on it now :rolleyes:

If you want to discuss piano's, piane's or anything other musical, this isn't the place. If anyone wants to continue, I reserve the right to edit your post with diabolical results when I'm next online. You have been warned.

440Hz · 27-06-2007 6:44pm

Oh yeah cos no other threads here go off topic!! Sure just move the post if its that big of an issue.

rymus · 27-06-2007 6:48pm

or... you could just not completely go off on a tangent. Either works.

440Hz · 27-06-2007 6:51pm

Hardly completely off tangent. Or at least no more off topic than other threads go on here. Not going to argue with you though, I'm not in the mood.

rymus · 27-06-2007 6:58pm

that's lucky, cos I'm in a banning mood
