Although you'll recognize common ground in these technicians' opinions, there are also differences, and each speaks only for himself. All of them strive for quality and perfection, and have intimate relationships with the pianos, inside and out. Each technician has extensive hands-on experience with the specific brand(s) he writes about. In the short pieces below, you'll hear from the people who service these instruments - some of the most respected piano technicians in the country. In the last issue of Piano Buyer, we focused on the viewpoints of dealers who sell high-end pianos.

It's a paradox, but their goal is achieved when the pianist forgets about the piano and is able to focus exclusively on the music being played. Their mission is to provide the pianist with a sublime, inspiring, creative, and enjoyable experience every time he or she plays the instrument. Piano Technicians who eventually drift toward the high-end market are usually people who appreciate quality, strive for excellence, and can even be called connoisseurs. As you'll see over time, although different writers often describe the same brands in very different ways, certain common themes are evident. In order to give prospective buyers of high-end pianos a better sense of the individual personalities of these brands, we will occasionally provide selected dealers, technicians, and pianists the opportunity to describe the musical and other qualities of the highend brands they represent, service, or play.

There's a very nice hotel with an indoor waterpark nearby in Alexandria. it might just be the right tone for you and your son. Jay is very nice and the piano is in great shape. Thanks for the info on the 20's M&H at Petit. have you guys found your piano yet?ĭid you guys try the Mason A at Jim Laab's? If yes what do you and your son think? I'll post a reply to the other thread after this. my camera's USB plug is broken so as soon as my all-in-one memory card reader arrive in the mail I'll post some pics of the 80 M&H A. I'm still trying to find out more from Cecil. M&H took it back and sold it to Jim Laab's 3 months ago. it was part of the inventory of a dealer that went out of business. I found out a bit more about the 'new' A from Cecil at M&H. and trying very hard to resist the urge to settle or to buy into the 'great' deal instead of the piano. Every family trip whether it's to Minneapolis, Chicago, Omaha, or Kansas City is not complete without some good food not much very good Chinese food where we're at. we'll make sure to bring one on our next trip:) I also liked the JP-185(maybe more for the price ). Tone-wise I like Baldwin's rich tone the best out of the bunch even though it's not fully in tune and there are some buzzing noise. Young Chang PG-185, Young Chang Pramberger JP-185, 6'1" WM Knabe, Baldwin SF-10, 6'+ Bechstein, Petrof III. I also visited Carlson's Piano World and listened to quite a few more pianos. Since I only managed to score $60 at blackjack. I was back at Jim Laab's and I still like the 'new' Satin Ebony A there and definitely ruled out the Schimmel and Estonia 190 there. so I can only look and listen to the sales person play the piano. at the Mystic Lake Casino! Just me without the family this time. Sorry I have not had a chance to reply until today.
