        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.

          Sorry, about your pup - and yeah, I think you'll do better there with your piano search.

            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.

                            It is an amazing little town set on a steep hillside with a wonderous view of the valley below it. I may find myself repeating something that is apparent, Italians love building stuff on steep hills.

                                I havent totally given up looking for my forever piano here in the states as maybe i walk into a super duper deal that makes the cost of shipping it to italy worth it. Pianomart has. 2024 mason & hamlin BB for sale in mass. Owner claims it has hardly been played and has been serviced only by some guy named mason or hamlin. The list for this beast is $120k and he is selling it for half. What do yall think? I could just have the owner ship it straight to sardinia. The villa sits idle waiting for my january arrival. The main reason i wish to get bigger piano is to have more bass. I think masons are the big deliverers of bass too. They have the thickest rim over any other brands, and it is said they produce a tone comparable to the next size up. For example, it has the power of a steinway D and not its cousin, the B.

                                    We liked Masons, but they were a little too inconsistent, requiring more upkeep than most of our other options in 2015-16. It’s quite possible that has improved over the past few years.
