My new piano arrived today

That's tremendous! Congratulations, Justam!

I love the piano. There's nothing like the sound of a nice piano echoing through the house.

What did you get?


One of the things I would love to do when I get that ride in a time machine would be to go back and stick with piano lessons from when I was 5. I remember banging on that thing for like 5 years, then I never stuck with it. I ended up taking up the guitar.
Well, the guitar made me a living for about 20 years, so I can't complain, and the piano is what made me know what those little note thingys are, and time signatures and clefs and all those strange and wonderous things that a lot of guitar players don't read.

Excellent news Justam! You deserve it! :cool:

A grand!

I have an old Victorian house in the city now. One room is big enough for a grand, and I would LOVE to have one but it'll never fit through the doorways! They built big houses in the 1880's but the doors were pretty skinny!

And I actually know what double-escapement action is! A friend of mine fixes and tunes and rebuilds pianos, and i know not to come help when he's moving one!

What brand?

I'm a home inspector now. I check out houses for people, and it's physically impossible to walk by a grand piano in someone's house without plunking some tunes on it, so you as a player must be in total heaven!

Boston! :cool:

That's a beautiful piano! A Steinway.

Yup, I know the legs come off, but it's that turn from the hall to the front parlor and the lack of roometh thereof!
Yup,,,,,, I know how to buy a goofy house! I put my music studio on the third floor, too. Seems cool until you start hauling amps up the stairs,, but the view's great!

Well, Justam,,,Congratulations again, and I wish you many many years of happiness with your new grand! And I'm sure a lot of other people are going to be happy listening to it, too! :cool:

I like that kind of house. I grew up in a Victorian in SF. They are so charming and worth the quirkiness!!

That's right, I DID put pics up! That's how I met VV from England, because she has one, too! Friends since! I even used some of her color suggestions.
I'm sitting by that fireplace right now!

Yeah, quirky it is, and that's what I like.
When the door sticks in the frame and you have to force yourself out of the bathroom, that's a FEATURE,,,,


NOT a problem!

Well, it's great to see you, Justam! Good night.
Time for my lullaby on the Boston!

Fantastic, my ex GF songwriting buddy of mine has a beautiful 85 or so year old steinway in her parents house. It sounds like heaven. Glad you love yours. Enjoy.

I can tell it'll be hard to stay away from it!!

is a sick day or two in the future?


congrats on the new toy.

yeah congratulations... I love to play piano.

I am enjoying my new keyboard as a substitute, but I will get a piano someday. That is a nice one you have for sure.

I like to play Black and Long Road on piano.
