Great pictures, Rod! I enjoyed looking at the pics and all those beautiful pianos, white ones included! Would love to visit your shop and play some of those beauties! But I doubt I could afford any of em'.  Thanks for posting! Rick I would be happy to show you around.

That C. Bechstein grand looks like it came out of the Sun King’s Palace of Versailles. Extremely ornate.

On my laptop the roses looked pink. On my phone they have a slight yellowishness, although pinkish in the darker areas. Oh Heck! It's going to be that damned dress all over again! "The Dress" meme

Yes but both pictures are on my cell phone and I am in the same room and light ?
I was picturing in my mind the "yellow roses"
Let me think rather about the white Boston grand that has been in that store for quite a while.Nice sounding
piano !

Regards, I don't know about that .I would move house ,change all furniture if I could buy that piano. But I do "know about that" because it definitely is not to my taste. Just because you may like it doesn't mean I have to like it.

The dress to me looked gold and white. The C. Bechstein looked gorgeous but was “too muchâ€. The carving and wood is sensational but it’s just overdone. Just my own weird opinion.

Well it would never fit with the regular furniture or in the house of most middle class people .So that excludes me as well.,apart from the price of this beautiful piano which would ruin us.

I quite like it - but then I considered a Bubinga M&H AA. I think it's the default photo on this page: https://www.masonhamlin.com.au/model-aaThe only problem with something like that - is resale value. If only one person in Australia were to want it when my Estate is wanting to get rid of it after I've gone to a better place - it could be relatively worthless. I bought a boring black piano.
