What piano did you own now?

Is there a dream piano that you want to own?

I haven't own one yet.

Wanted a Yamaha GC1 but it's too expensive

Currently I have a Kawai CS-21AT
In a month's time I'll have a Yamaha C2 smile.gif

My dream piano? Um.... I'm quite satisfied with the C2.
A Steinway Model B will be very lovely to have, but not very necessary smile.gif

I have an upright Kawai which I absolutley love !

I too would love a Yamaha grand or Schimmel. These are the two I've played in the past (not my own though laugh.gif )

I would even have a look at the Kawai grand too.

Wow how fantastic. ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif

What was it like to play? What piece of music did you play?

I think your husband is being totally unreasonable, mine's a bit the same he would rather have a new car for himself than buy a grand piano. huh.gif huh.gif I've told him he's got his priorities all wrong.

I've got a Kemble Oxford which was brand new three years ago. Not quite a Steinway but I'm very pleased with it, it replaced a very old very ropey piano. tongue.gif tongue.gif

Maybe discuss with him and find all the advantages on that piano, even better play it to him. rolleyes.gif

My hubby also disagree is buying one digital piano (>US$3000) and he even advise to buy a cheaper keyboard that cost only US$300. sad.gif

But after we went to Yamaha showroom, he tried on most of the pianos there and felt that it really sound different... biggrin.gif

Though he agree to my suggestions but in the end we did not buy because I still need my teacher to recommend me. wink.gif

It's true. I was thinking of buying a acoustic piano but it's the weight problem. It's too heavy to move a 100+kg of object around the house. That's why I went for digital instead. happy.gif

I played the first movement of the Pathetique, could quite happily have carried on and played the rest but didn't have time.

Apparently Jamie Cullum played it 2 weeks before me and stamped on it - arrrggh, didn't leave a footmark though laugh.gif

My parents have a Welmar that I played when I lived at home. When we were in the piano shop, I got my mum to have a go on it before showing her the price tag and she fell in love with it too (evil grin). They'd let me have it now if only I had space. Sadly, with a small flat and neighbours who do shift work, the Clavinova will have to do. Guess I'll just have to visit my parents more often!

Wow what a massive ressurection of a 7 year old thread!

I've got a Hamlyn Klein CJS-108. It's very nice.

I'd like a grand when I grow up - a Bechstein perhaps

Because I love gadgets, I'd love to have one of these.

I suppose it would be lovely to have a Steinway, but I would also need a detached house to put it in, so that's even more outlandish.

I'd love a Fazioli....
just to be different!
