Chinese, right?

Pearl River.

What year?

[George K]

@LuFins-Dad Mrs. George’s church got one. It’s about 10 years old, and uncertain about the size.

I’m told it “has a nice tone but the action needs work . Ugh $$$”

Did they buy or was it a donation?

[George K]

@LuFins-Dad I’m not sure of the details on how it was obtained. I’ll have more information by middle of next week. Looks small-ish to me.

They still have a website.

Weren't they a Jordan Kitts stencil at one time?

6'2"?

BTW, pretty church.

Back to the piano...You've probably heard it. Maybe even played it.

What's your opinion of the tone?

BTW, those pianos boast of the best warranty...12 years.

A 6'2" on the YT...

She said "it's short" - about the piano, that is.

BTW, pretty church.

Lutrins - Misery Synod. Makes the Baptists look like pagans.

It just got delivered yesterday. I'll hear it in the next few weeks.

Looks like a 5’7”. Built by Pearl River for Jordan Kitt’s and Schmitt’s. Good piano for the price, but my bet is that it was probably bought years ago for somebody taking lessons, tuned twice since then, and hasn’t seen an action regulation since Obama’s first term. Now they’ve donated it to the church…

May be the recording, but it sounds pretty tinny. Might be OK for a church.

No, it's not an old Yamaha.

Seriously, it's probably the recording, but I promise you it ain't a M&H.

Lutrins - Misery Synod. Makes the Baptists look like pagans.

A very close friend of mine and his wife belong to that church. He was raised RC and his spouse raised High Anglican. They married in the Anglican Church but drifted away during the course of the 90’s and joined the Lutrins - Misery synod. He likes it it because he maintains that it is like pre Vatican II Catholicism sans Bishop of Rome pope.

@Renauda I was raised in the Roman Catholic tradition as well. Parochial elementary school and Catholic high school. WIth college, medical school, residency, etc, all that faded. On the rare occasions I did attend a RC service, I was shocked at how different it was from what I geese up with in the late 1950s through the late 1960s.

Mrs. George and I married into the Lutrin church in 1977, and the services and overall "feel" was similar to what I grew up with, other than the lack of Latin and that pesky extra sentence at the end of the Lord's Prayer.
