Oh, if you hadn't seen my earlier posts...it's a Yamaha C3. Here's another shot. I have been pounding away now for about two hours, my back hurts....my fingers won't work, etc., but I have managed to recover the first two stanzas of Fur Elise, the little tune I thought I would never forget...WRONG! It really is weird, if I play it really fast I don't miss a note, but if I slow down I make all kinds of mistakes....what's with that?? ![[Linked Image]](http://img467.imageshack.us/img467/5170/yamaha0060oz.jpg)

Yes, that is very nice grand! The finish looks perfect (nice and glossy). I hope you enjoy it!

If you can ever drag yourself away from it, be sure to let us know how it feels to play etc.

Congratulations, JamesA, on your beautiful new piano! I bet you'll have calluses on your fingers by the end of the week. And don't worry about those dampers. I think my new piano ended up having 8 sticky dampers in the first couple of months. I gather that's just part of the adjustment process of a new grand.
