Piano upgrade time

@Klaus said in Piano upgrade time:
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.

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.

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.

I know you took in a younger terrier over the last couple years. What will you have to do to get him into Italy?

I don't think you DESERVE a nice piano. It's too nice where you are going live.

Yeah. Either get a POS upright and live there or get a top tier piano and move to Cleaveland.
