Not that the digital is being consigned to history: After 11 p.m. and before 7.30 a.m. (or when everyones awake at weekends) i.e. often, it will still be called into service.
Still - a grand piano!! in my house!!! Hooraaaay!!!
Full Version: It's Here!
The new piano has arrived and is wonderful, if huge, both it's physical presence and the sound. Having practiced for the last year mostly on a digital it is like getting out of a clapped out Fiesta into the driving seat of a DB9 (which I have done once!).

Wow! Good for you! I hope you have many hours/days/years of enjoyment on it.
Which piece are you going to play first?

Congrats - all the best with it - have lots of fun and musical moments with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very happy for you!
(and a bit miserable for myself because
1. I won't be back in the UK to show you how it ought to be played for at least another 6 weeks,
2. It will be six months or more before I either:
a. Move permanently to the Netherlands, get a house here, and install a GP in it, or
b. Return to the UK, build a music studio in the garden and put one there
)
Notes on games 4 and 5 to follow by eMail
<-- Still stuck with an upright over half the time

Robodoc, why are you posting on here? You should be PLAYING YOUR NEW PIANO - it's what I did all afternoon when mine arrived.
Of course, if you're looking for someone to play it for you....
<-- frantically practising for this afternoon's lesson.

Maybe it is being tuned and he can't get at it yet. Congratulations Robodoc. Will you be having a piano warming party?
And when do we get to see a photo of it?!
It must be immensely pleasing...I bet you spend the time you aren't playing it just looking at it

Ah, good.
I can go home now. Have fun.

Have a wonderful time with your grand, Robodoc. I'm sure it will have been worth the wait.
Congralutions on your new piano and wishing you hours and hours of playing and happiness!!!
What a great addition to a house, and you're playing! Sure beats a digital. Happy practicing!
whoaaaaa! it's really nice to have a new piano
congratulations

So, what was the first piece you played on The New Piano? I was heartbroken when my son wanted to be the first to play mine, and Mary Had a Little Lamb christened it! It seemed so unfair!
I remember the first thing I played when I got my new piano (digital, but can't complain ) - Bohemian Rhapsody!
What did you choose, Robodoc? Something far classier than me, I'm sure! Haha!

So, what was the first piece you played on The New Piano?
Sorry for the anticlimax but the first thing I played on it after delivery was a B major scale in octaves, 4 octaves, legato, crescendo at the top and diminuendo at the bottom!
The first piece I played on it after delivery was the same as the first thing I ever played on it in the shop: Gershwin, Lisa

I'll have three of those, please.
Enjoy the Piano!!!
Well, you've had it about a week now. Is it worn out yet? And are you still v. v. pleased with it?

Not worn out, but one or two irritating developments that are almost certainly just a result of the move and "settling in" - nothing major though and the technician will come at 8 weeks for a service/tune by which time we/they expect more problems to have emerged.
Still pleased with it!
