Taushi The piano and your expert playing both sound lovely to my ears!

    Hi

    Well I finally moved house (to a detached place) last month and now own my first ever acoustic Piano:

    A Yamaha B3, with the chrome finish. £4995 for those interested.

    Lovely sound and feel, and a dream come true for me.

    Cheers

    And here's a couple of pictures of my completed music room:

      Simonb Very nice indeed. What is the availability of piano tuners like in your area?

        Hi keff

        I'm not sure, however I know a local one, as he tunes for my Piano Teacher. And indeed my purchase was at least partially based on a discussion I had with him, as he also sells Pianos.

        My Teacher has a Yamaha Grand, and an upright, and whilst her upright is a better model than my B3, I think the sound and feel is pretty close to what I'm used to when I have lessons. And the B3 is a considerable improvement on my old Casio PX S3000 (which served me really well), and has been sold to a friend.

        Cheers

          Simonb Just before my piano teacher retired she bought a smaller house and traded in her Yam grand for a B3.

          My long standing tuner also retired this year but we have been fortunate for new tuner arriving in the area. I do keep wondering if I should acquire a digital such as a Kawai CA901 so that I have something that never goes out of perfect tune. A CA901 would be good if I were to start a mini piano group in my home.

          Enjoy your new acoustic piano.

            Simonb Congrats on the new piano! Your piano and music room look great!
