Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Let's see pics of your piano room

That's what technical exercises are for -- building strength!

That said, I can only launch digitals myself.

Hmmm . . . speaking of launching pianos . . . does anyone remember the link some one posted a few years back about an eccentric Englishman who launched old pianos with a trebuchet?

Oh . . . here it is . . .

Well, Dennis, I had to pass that on. My brother can never believe what I find on piano forums He claims that some people get their news from Fox, and some from CNN, an I get mine from piano forums. Yup.

Thanks for the link

Only had my old lady since December but she seems very much at home. Wish I could play her better.



Some amazing rooms you all have and I like to see the production / studio type rooms as well as I enjoy synths too

Tall ceilings, nice!
And I see it is cocktail time

It was red wine, followed by the scotch in the background. Love your space by the way Strings & Wood!

Cheers! And thanks.

I posted this on another thread but here's my new Yamaha C3 at home:

Beautiful instrument, EP! I haven't had too much experience with C3s...I expect I'd like them, though!
And I also notice that we do the same thing with the carpet under our pedals, too!...you must also have a floor that gets a little cold on your feet?
The carpeting prevents that pretty nicely.

Actually, the floor is carpeted. The blue rug under the pedals is just so I don't wear a hole in the carpet.
BTW, I love your C7 - I took lessons on a C7 about 10 years ago - it was a fairly old instrument at the time, but was quite nice to play. I think it had been made in the 1960's or 1970's.

Haha oh ok, I see now...and thank you very much! This piano is about a 1981 I think, after I did some research on the serial, but whenever someone is over and they see it they pretty much automatically assume
that it is a new piano anyways, so that's cool! But yep, I think Yamahas are great pianos...certainly in my top 3 along with Bosendorfer and Steinway. (Is that too cliche?) -Though I played a really impressive Schimmel
a couple of weekends ago at a jazz festival, so I'm pretty fond of those now, too. It was just a really elegant, classy piano and it was definitely a remarkable instrument...it had a unique action. I liked it.
Still need to try a M&H...I hear that they're dreamboats.

You're right, Bosendorfers, Steinways, Schimmels, M&H's, etc. are all nice - it can be a never ending quest.
Personally, I've had a few, but I'm happy, satisfied, and through looking!
(I could say that about women, too, but then, I suppose that's one of the benefits of age).

Ok...I saved the piano room pic in my computer file. How do I get it loaded here?

Here's a link to the FAQ on how to upload a photo. That should explain it for you.
Give it a shot - if you still have problems we can walk you through it.

Here's a photo of my piano. The room is usually lit nicely with indirect sunlight from the bay windows behind, and the front hall.

Here is our piano room.



Ms. Charming plays occasionally, typically she just decorates it.

why does this look like my house?

i love it!

Fantastic first post Ms. Charming.. Is your piano new?

I've been enjoying travelling backwards thru this thread this morning.

Everyone is so happy with their pianos in their rooms.

Hi everyone,

two months ago I moved to a new city and started a new job. The perfect time to fulfill a long-held wish, to learn the piano. I started out with a cheap 49-key midi controller I bought some years ago (but had never used). I took my first piano lesson a month ago and realised I had to buy a good digital piano (a "real" piano is too heavy and impractical for my circumstances). After testing some pianos in a store I decided to get a Kawai CA-63. Last week it was delivered and here it is, my "music corner":



Since I have the Kawai I'm totally hooked and am so happy I started this musical journey and hope it will be a great one :-)

Plantmom - what a lovely, elegant room. I bet it takes some of the anxiety out of "red dot fever" when you go to record

rreida - how whimsical! Is that an old push lawn mower under the piano?

Bentsch - ooo, ooo, jealousy creeping in here. Nice piano. And nice banjo. I went to a concert a bunch of friends of mine put on last week, and there were about 4 banjoes. They called them "merrywhangers" in the program Great fun. Welcome to the ABF - we're the perfect place for those hooked on piano.
