Hi Everyone,
This is NOT a sales pitch, I swear. 😁
The Piano Dealer that I purchased my 1912 Steinway A II has expanded their location and the showroom is 8,000 sq feet. Levi told me that they think that it is the largest showroom in the East Coast.
I have experienced the room and I think he may be right.
I do not work for Freeburg Pianos but wanted everyone to know in case they know of anyone looking for a piano
with a decent selection.
Here is a vid of the new space, it's really incredible:

Anyone decides to check it out, tell Levi, that Joey D suggested they check it out.
I think they are just about to open in the next week or so - and they are just beginning to fill the room with pianos.

How gorgeous!

I still regret that we never made it there when I still lived in the SE, and now it’s too far away.

More to the point, I want the score for that piece that’s playing in the background!! It says it’s Andrea Vanzo, and I thought it sounded familiar, the title is “Amelie X Soulmate” so I assume it’s music form Amelie (which includes the famous Comptine Des Un Autre Ete, if that’s the title my French is not so good)…

Doesn’t look like he has the sheets for that…. Maybe I’ll email him. 😅

Hmm, I found a score with this title, not sure if it’s exactly the same versions but I’ll buy it bc I can’t play it by ear 😅

Here is his original composition, Soulmate, which is obviously part of the mashup:

@brdwyguy sorry for the thread drift in your thread about the new Freeburg store!! 😅

    ShiroKuro no apologies needed!
    Let the conversation go where it takes us! 😀

      I went to the showroom today, wow the pianos sound wonderful in that space.
      They got in a Schulze Pollmann, had never heard of this brand - it's from Italy.
      It has a sound similar to a Fazioli but the piano was just in and only tuned.
      It needs some voicing and key regulation as it seems a bit stiff from what I am used to.

      It's quite a nice piano, if anyone is looking for a piano you should check it out because I venture
      to say it will not last long at the price they are asking ($30k) 6'6".

      Oooh that's pretty!!! I've heard of that brand, but never heard it.

                          Doh! How did I get "north"?? 😅

                              brdwyguy so cool!! I wish I could just make a quick trip there!

                              BTW did you play any of their Perzina pianos? I remember playing a used Perzina grand while piano shopping that I liked a lot. It's not a name we hear much, but I like to be open minded!

                                  ShiroKuro Yes, I actually played all of them - they have a rather bright sound.
                                  I loved the Kawai GX2, and the Shigaro Kawai Sk6
                                  but I have turned into a Steinway Lover ---- hehehehehe
                                  all the Steinway's or most of them I loved the full sound.
                                  But that's just me
                                  B

                                      brdwyguy they have a rather bright sound.

                                      Interesting!

                                      I've never played any SK Kawais, only the GX and GL models. Some day... 🙂

                                      Also a Bosie and a Fazioli... and an Estonia.... all the pianos we hear about on these sites, but I've never played myself.

                                      I have heard a Fazioli live, it sounded absolutely wonderful!
