Ithaca IIRC you don't like to move your piano at all yourself
You have a good memory. I definitely won't want to move it myself once it's in place. I'd be too scary of ripping the carpet or worse. Is your piano on caster cups?
Cheee, the indent of the bay window is only 4' but the carpet is 8', so where you see the curtains in the photo is as far as it can go. But if you draw a line in the doorway opening, that corner doesn't touch it at all, I think it doesn't look too bad.
cheeeeee How about angling the piano a little bit less (i.e., the left tip of the piano a bit away from the wall)? That may create a greater opening.
A greater opening where? I'm not sure I understand. I think I'm going to have the straight edge of the piano parallel to the opening, for acoustic reasons, but I suppose if it wasn't exactly parallel , that would create a little more room when you walk in... But I also want to make sure I can keep all four legs of the bench on the rug, so it will be a tricky placement.
