I hate my new Steinway B!!!

Thalberg, I promise things will get better.  prepare a recital of your favorite music, that always cheers me up.

And for the piano shopping, I would say do two trips: one to New Jersey to check out the August Foesters and one to Gaithersburg, MD, to Keith and Shaun and Sam's shop to check out the Masons and the Bluthners.  Maybe you will fall in love with an Irmler 222 just like I did.  You will not have to spend $60K to get a fabulous piano (although if you want to spend them, they have goodies).

I don't know the signals for the people in NJ for the AF, but if you ask, I am sure a happy AF owner will chime in and help you make the contact.  My guys in Gaithersburg you can find here:  www.pianocraft.net.

Good luck with the teaching and the playing.

loool..are you trying to sell him an Irmler?

Good pianos sell themselves.  I am a happy customer and happy to recomend pianocraft.  They can tell you how demanding and picky I am.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have no interest in them selling any pianos, other than seeing people happy with what they buy.

Mine is not for sale.

It sure sounded like a pitch to me? In fact, you're telling him to go to these piano dealers, and contact who? And no, I don't think piano sell themselves the way you're talking here.
