Wldrumstcs,
The B is one of my favorite pianos and looks exceedingly cool! cool how is it "breaking in" or was it great right off the bat?

Mazer,
A great story! LOL. but looks like you did fine in spite of it all. and think of all the time you saved ( and you might have ended up in the same place ). thumb

love that grin on your little one, gtrhack! nice piano too.

Very fitting apple, nice piano. The B was broken in over the course of a year, but it was very tempermental at first and going out of tune quickly. She has gotten better now and plays like a dream with an outstanding bass balanced with an equally pleasing treble.

Mazer,
I ALWAYS play on the pianos in public places and NEVER get a crowd. Guess they've all heard "chopstix" before. wink

rickb119,

That is funny. When I finally do learn to play, and sit down at my first public piano, my luck I'll get arrested for disturbing the piece. Or public lousiness.
Where is your piano pic???

Monster M&H,

The piano Looks great. I like the color of the walls. I'm getting new carpet myself, and need to paint my walls next week. You've giving me a great idea with color. Sorry to hear about your hassle with the carpet. Thanks for posting.

Jeffo,

WOW, Very nice. Any more photos of the 1874 Grotrian? Any of before, and after rebuild? I'm amazed at the age of some of these pianos. Do you now the history of yours. Where it's been, and who owned it? Thanks for Posting.

Just click the link at the bottom of my post. As far as a story. We have heard one but still in the process of trying to confirm if it is true.

Mazer,
I re-read your post and just got it. "Disturbing the piece." Cute. I think thats why I enjoy composing. No one can tell me I'm playing it wrong. Although my mother (age 82) has tried.

So your like me. We know we have pianos, we just don't have them in our possessions. I can't wait to get it home so I can start disturbing the piece.

Jeffo,

WOW, Nice that it came back to life. Did you own it before the restore, or did they give you the pictures of the restore after you purchased it?

My parents bought it in the 60s and it lived at my grandmother's house for about 30 years after that. I inherited it and moved it across country about 10 years ago. It was the first "piano" I learned to play on.

Amazing it was 100 years old when your parents bought it.
