Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner Picture of your practice space

Ah! Mine is a 1979 5'8 Kawai ^^ I bought it used though, 193 days ago to be more accurate.

ANYWAYS since i think this post needs more pictures here is a picture of a boston grand somewhere in Norway -

Ummmm... errr... I feel kinda silly. I guess I just thought the piano space looked like a feminine touch had been behind it and assumed that you were the femme in question... Didn't mean to be a gender stereotyper. But, I am not girl, and as I said, I'd be very happy to have that piano and that space as my practice space.

Haha don't worry xD well the feminine touch may come from my mother, I don't know,i never looked at it like that.

Aw look at this cute little Petrof ^^

A nice 1934 Steinway

A Malmsjö (Swedish brand) - I like the music stand, I also found the action rather nice however super.

Hey Oblacone
I think the deep red wood in the first photo looks really nice. It's such a rare colour for a piano. I can imagine the piano in a log cabin in a forest in Alaska/Canada/Norway/Finland.
Like you I think the music stand is great.
How old is the piano ?

Oblacone - what's that on the window ledge leaning toward in the sun?

A Petrof in a window backed up against a radiator? Ouch!

A Steinway partially in direct sunlight? That's a disaster waiting to happen!

while many of you have beautiful instruments and spaces - mine is constantly shifting as a university music student!
i do have my favorite room, but i have gone home and am not able to photograph the piano. it is nothing special - a smaller yamaha grand that has experienced a bit of wear and tear. it has more warmth than some of the others - it is good for inspecting tone.

There are solar roll-up shades that almost anyone can put up as a DIY project. These block something like 95 percent of the UV rays that fade finishes. You can think of it as sunglasses for the piano.


There are also films that go on the glass that do the same thing or, if you can afford the piano, you can also afford to have the glass installed with the tint factory applied.

I got a new piano!! An Estonia 190L!

It's the first piano I've owned. The piano search was intense and dramatic, but it all turned out wonderfully.

Here are some pictures. The space hasn't been fully moved-into yet. (The bean-bag is my attempt, before finding the right rug, of dampening the sound, because it is *loud*.) Recordings will be posted soon.

Ooooo, beautiful!

What a gorgeous piano!! I can't wait to hear how it sounds. What especially do you like about it? The action, the tone?

Yes, the action and the tone are both wonderful. So is its overall consistency, and the feeling I'm beginning to develop that I can trust this piano.

Best of all is the fact that it's there. To be played whenever I want. Finally. Finally.

Hearty congratulations on your new piano. I know you will enjoy it for years to come.

Regards,

Here's my practice space, with me at the piano...

Congratulations Jason. Your excitement about the instrument is almost visible..

Jason, your Estonia's gorgeous!

Is the beanbag working for acoustic control? You may find that your ears get used to the big sound, but do you have plans for a rug or cushy window treatments or something, if you find you want more softness in the room.

I had the C7 on wood floors in my last house. It sounded beautiful, but it was pretty loud. The room was smaller than yours, though. Still, I loved the sound and I was worried about moving into this house and putting it on carpet and under a cathedral ceiling. Fortunately, I like the sound even better here, so even though I think I'll eventually put down wood floors in the rest of the house, the music room will always have carpet.
