The piano was nicely tuned and the action felt greatâ€¦ not too heavy and not too light. The piano had a very nice tone too. If it were for sale (cheap) Iâ€™d certainly buy it and add it to my collectionâ€¦ Yes, I do have a problem with PAS(piano acquisition syndrome)â€¦ not sure what to do about it.

I still have to get it tuned, but I love the extremely responsive action. I certainly have the worst kind of PAS Playing since age 21 (September 2010) and loving it more every day.

I honestly don't get out much for various reasons. Congratulations on your latest addition to your piano family!

The Baldwin has a wonderful tone but it's just too heavy an action for me at this point, and the Kawai is a bit too mellow and doesn't seem to give me as much range as the Yamaha. Part of that might be because it's a bit shorter though (5'10" vs 6'1") Playing since age 21 (September 2010) and loving it more every day.

We had a distant relative to visit several months ago, who played the piano (well); she played my C7 and I couldn't believe how good it sounded. It is amazing how different a piano sounds a few feet away, when someone else is playing it... Good luck with the C3 prospect!
