Heh - rethinking this - forget the Steinway - and get a Fazioli since you'll be in Italy.
That's what I've been saying out loud since the start of this! I'd better get started on that gofundme then.

Look what I get to play on when I go down this week to Kim's piano. These are all on the floor

August Förster? Cool. Very unique, warm sound. Cheaper than other premium brands. Not easy to find, even in Germany

I am especially keen on trying this one out. He is on my short list for sure because of just what you mentioned.

Today is the day! Kim's Piano store awaits me this afternoon and I decided to rent a car, not just any car, but my first electric car today. It claims a range of over 250 miles which is about the distance from me to there. l figured it would cost me more to drive the Mercedes SUV. Going to get me some ocean therapy at Hermosa Beach directly after and spend the night tonight.

I ended up not going down to socal yesterday as my dog Bella who is 16 and a half, is not doing well and I am bolstering myself for her end days. I hate this part of life. As I get further along in this piano search, I am coming more and more in line with finding a good used one to save some pennies. What I really want to do is find a Baldwin SF10 circa 1960s-1970s and see if it sounds so rich like everyone claims it does. Take a listen to this video and near the end he plays the beginning of Tchaikovsy's Piano Concerto 1 and prepare yourself, turn up your speakers. It frikkin sounds like Liberace too! Oh my dear Lord. There's a smattering of them for sale on ebay and pianomart and they can be had for real real cheap. This could be my forever piano.

How did you like your electric car?

I ended up not going because of my old dog's turn for the worse. The piano hunt has taken a back seat for now, and I now have an idea of shipping costs of my household goods to Italy, it's becoming clear that I should just sell my Petrof before I move and take my time to find my next piano in Europe.

Looks like quite a pretty area.
