Well, there were a couple of piano threads and I wanted to combine them all
together. However, I would like to talk more about the manufacturer of pianos
and stuff like Steinway or Baldwin or other old companies.
Bad thing is that I don't know the make of my piano because the really old owner
was an idiot who took off the logo (metal sheet) and he repainted the entire
piano with cheap paint and wood stains. However, we were able to get a guess by
an old piano tuner who knows a lot of piano makes and although he was not able
to guess the make, he was able to guess the age and the quality of the piano so
that was pretty good to hear.
So what type of piano do you guys have? The maker of it? How did you get it
(buy, rent, family passdowns, etc.)? How long have you been playing on it or how
long you have been playing the piano in general? Is a hobby for you?
mine is the yamaha u1. bought it several years ago. eh... i have been playing
the piano since 3yrs old. and yepp. i took the grade7 last year. stopped this
year cos i need to concentrate in my O`s. yeah and i use piano as my de-stress
aid. (:
Lol. Yeah, it would be nice to have a grand piano but they are just too big even
the mini grand one are still too big for an average home I think. But wow
Athrun-yume! You played since you were 3? Dang, I started at 5. I guess your
parents really wanted you to learn. My parents did not force me too much so I
started at 5 but once I started, they have been pushing me and I am acutually
glad they did.
Ancient Weber? Lol, now that sounds really old. Heh.
haha it is really, really old. My mom just said it's as old as my grandpa, who's
89 ... okay then. Wow you have been playing long! i started when I was 7. i
finished my Grade 8 last summer.
