I have an Altmann upright (it's awful, but I'm kind of emotionally attached to the thing) and a nice shiny Yamaha electric piano.

I love my eavestaff! Its upright! Very sentimental, got it a few years ago when my great grandma died and my share of the inheritance was for a new piano (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have an 8ft 6" (2.4 metre) fully restored Broadwood "barless" grand made in 1924. It is a wonderful piano -really sensitive to the touch with a great feeling of depth to the keys.

The piano was given to me by a famous teacher when he had to move to a smaller house. Was I lucky!!!

I have a Rogers Eungblut upright (apparently a not-very-successful collaboration between Rogers and Bluthner, where the result was less than the sum of the parts). It was bought for me to play when I was about 10, the old one having gone to meet the great tuner in the sky. I inherited it when I was 10 and I love it but recently is has started to deteriorate audibly by the week (probably the result of being played at least 2 and up to 6 hours a day).

As of yesterday I have a Roland FP2 keyboard.

Next year I will have a Schimmel grand.

Oh look there's a flying pig! Kosher too!!

I have a Rogers and Son Grand, an Upright of some sort, its in Bb (the tuner said it would strain the strings if put into C) so not played an awful lot!

Laurence and Nash upright, built by a friend of my husband's. It's a lovely piano, and hidden inside it is the photocopy of a note Alfred Brendel wrote for the makers, to tell them how much he'd enjoyed playing the Laurence and Nash in the green room at one of the big concert halls down in London (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Alastair Laurence made the workings, and Peter Nash the case.

It could work wonders for your transpositional skills though. (up a tone anyway!)

I have a Witton upright piano made in the 1930's I believe. It was a christmas present from my parents 4 years ago when I wanted to start teaching myself. It looks lovely but the action is incredibly heavy and slow making faster pieces much harder to play so I usually practice on the piano's in university. I hope to get a new piano within the next year or so once I save enough.
