You know you're right ! In fact mine's going out to the curb tomorrow for the gardener to haul away..jeez I hope he'll take it, the pos.
I put an ad on the LA CL saying I'd trade straight up for an RMI---no takers, just goes to show.

That's where you made your mistake. You probably could've got a Farfisa, but not an RMI - those dudes are so realistic and in-demand. Maybe if you had offered a HAMBURG Steinway you could've got one of those...

I agree with this. I just ordered a 9' Bluthner for my new house. My God! What a sound! I'm not putting it in the Studio, though. It's going in the living room at the new house.
My next pianos are gonna be the Fazioli F308 and F278. And they are BOTH going to my studio.
I'm gonna put a 6' Fazioli in my master bedroom as well!
Trust me. Pics ARE coming, guys. For the past 2 months I have been planning the new studio space and it's a LOT of work. Not to mention relocating to the new house as well. There's a LOT going on right now.

Wow Sina, did you win the lottery ?
Is that a brand new Bluth Model 1 ?
I just picked out a 1918 Model 6 (6' 3" ) for a friend off the LA CL. It needs some action work but it has a gorgeous tone. Different then a Steinway.
Faziolis too ? Wow, all I can say is get me on whatever gig it is you're doing....  |
Yeah the Bluthner is Brand New! It was GORGEOUS!
It won't be here for 6 months though, because I had to special order it and they are made to order, unless you buy the store model. I wanted mine to come delivered to my house in the wooden crate. So I have to wait 
The Faziolis won't be here for 10 MONTHS! GAH! Luckily the guy who took my order was nice enough to give me his floor model until mine came in.
The ONLY Steinways I will EVER own are the Hamburg Steinways. New York Steinways SUCK. And they are NOT the same company in any way, shape or form!
I did play on a Hamburg Steinway yesterday and almost bought it, too. Then I played on the Fazioli afterwards, and realize how INFERIOR the Steinway was by a HUGE margin in comparison.
I ordered a Shigeru Kawai EX for my family room as well. It's such a HUGE gorgeous room, with high ceilings and I wanted an unprecedented Japanese Grand in my arsenal. The Shigeru did it for me. I was at NAMM 2008 and I was amazed to see a Shigeru EX Piano, because the biggest they went was 7' 6." The Shigeru was basically a smaller version of the EX model. Now they have a Shigeru EX which is by far one of THE BEST pianos I have EVER laid my hands on! Fast forward to now in 2011, I got the Shigeru EX.
And then I HAVE to have a Yamaha grand. So I ordered two of those as well. A 9ft. CFX for the studio and a 6' for the breakfast area in the kitchen.
The Yamahas and the Kawai's are relatively quick to come in so they'll be here in about 6 weeks.
When all is said and done, you guys will not only get pictures and the full scoop of the studio and the property, but I will reveal to you what I did and how I got there. And you WILL be VERY surprised. Maybe even shocked, because your gonna hear things you have probably NEVER heard before!

I would like just one picture, now, of any of this. |
lol... I'm still waiting to see his 47 and a half Tritons.
Sina, your barking mad. Totally gone in the head but damn entertaining to read your fantasies. |

These two have libraries in 24-bit as well - even though I consider much of it snake oil. |

Wow, that's really surprising. The first rule of buying an acoustic piano is to ONLY buy a piano that you have played. The longer the instrument has been on the floor, and more it has been played, the better.
What does "made to order" actually mean in this context? |

The wonderful Italian Grand Pianos, which among others Herbie Hancock likes to play, are named Fazioli (not Faziloli).
But who cares about a name, as long as you can spread them along with some Bluethners across your living rooms, entrance halls and winter gardens... |

Indeed. Testing if the damper hits the strings is a first in piano's history.
I know for sure athat at Yamaha they don't even care if the HAMMER hits the strings.
Sometimes they release for circulation pianos whose strings are not hit at all.
That happened since yamaha went into a partnership with toyota (imagine how the pedals work)
Appallign.
My cousin has a friend who knows a guy whose sister knows a guy who's seen a Yamaha piano where they had forgot mounting some black keys.
There was no black key between E and F, and between B and C.
Meaning they missed a full 14% of keys! 
If that's not bad quality control... |
