brdwyguy I like everything about your room. Especially the bench. Reminds me of a Frasier episode in which it was revealed that Gil Chesterton was driving a red BMW with a red interior. The seats probably looked just like your bench😁.

      I feel outclassed by all you 7-9-footers—but I make up for it in numbers and weirdness. Here are two of my three pianos, my 1877 Blüthner grand, and my 1883 Henry F. Miller pedal upright. Mason & Hamlin eventually to follow.

        Interesting Rubens, I may have to sell the bench as my spine issues have grown increasingly worse and worse.
        I now use a swivel, office chair with padding when I play. I will let you know if and when I do sell the bench!

            Everybody's pianos look great! Here's mine:

            I also made the tables and the vase (what is called a segmented turning) and my wife made the quilt.

            mha9 my 1877 Blüthner grand,

            I love the Blüthner! It is just like mine. (But you know that!)

            It would be good to see a picture of the inside.

                ALL SUCH BEAUTIFUL PIANOS - I'm really impressed with people who have TWO Grands next to each other! WOW.

                brdwyguy I will let you know if and when I do sell the bench!

                Haha! Thanks but my taste in benches is nowhere as sophisticated as yours! I'm good with my boring black benches.

                  Nothing glamorous. I live in an apartment that has cardboard walls and always play with headphones.

                  It's an N3 (not the X). To the right is a slide-out drawer with the laptop I use for VSTs. In the cabinet below the laptop is the Focusrite interface and other junk.
                  The speakers are just for media on rare occasions. I don't use them for the piano. (Which, as I said, is headphones-only.)

                  Make a joyful noise...

                  David-G I'm waiting for your photos. I recall some particularly stunning ones you took of the string field of your piano--beautiful geometric patterns of light reflections on the strings. My photographic eye isn't so good, and the only camera I have anymore is the one on my phone.

                    I love this thread!

                    This is our living room with my Steinway M:

                    These are the photos I took in July 2015 after my 1999 Bösendorfer 225 Johann Strauss artcase in pyramid mahogany was delivered. It's still the most beautiful piano that I've ever seen!!

                    More photos under the cut so that I don't take up the entire feed 🙂

                      Hard to argue with that! Looks gorgeous.

                      EDIT— I just saw your post about how to do that in the other thread. Thx!

                          Just added a tutorial here when I figured it out! 🙂

                          And thank you!!

                            Wow! You all have such nice pianos and piano rooms. My Yamaha GC1 baby grand looks puny in comparison. 😅

                            I usually prefer the classic black but when I saw your piano I thought "Wow! It's so beautiful!"

                              A lot of great pics here. Yes, posting images here is as easy as cut and paste, as it should be. Here is my Yamaha C3X.

                              This is the current set up in my tiny studio. Two other grands are hidden in the back.

                              This one is the infamous 1887 Steinway D with three front duplex scales and angled bridge pins to give strings within a unison a different speaking length.
