This is Fun! Two piano celebrations going on at the same time.

It's much easier to bash a Steinway than it is to play one.

I was asking about the one on the wall. Was it your inspiration?

I have a Baldwin model R from 1994. I also have an R from 1967. I have spent much time in regulation, tone building. I hope you got it with all that completed. Mine was tinny sounding when I first got it this past fall, but with work it is turning out to be a real classic. The bearing of the strings was off, but using a bearing gauge it is the only make that is entirely adjustable thanks to the accu-just hitch pins. We are Baldwin lovers. My wife was raised with a 1967 model L 6 ft 3 in.
Best wishes

No i bought that last week before the piano was to arrive. I thought it would look really cool there, what do you think? I was asking about the one on the wall. Was it your inspiration?

Right now, there are a couple of issues with the piano, but I am confident that my technician can get them working well, primarily it is a tuning issue, but other than that, the piano sounds rich and wonderful. I believe the previous technician did a fantastic job on voicing the instrument. I have a Baldwin model R from 1994. I also have an R from 1967. I have spent much time in regulation, tone building. I hope you got it with all that completed. Mine was tinny sounding when I first got it this past fall, but with work it is turning out to be a real classic.

Yes, and I have a good one--I've used him for my other pianos and he does a good job. I bet your mahogany is gorgeous!!! A knowledgeable tech makes all the difference.
