[Noah]

Geez, you guys are rich !
I have a Yamaha upright U1 at my dad's, and a Rippen upright at home. I don't play these a lot though, since I don't live at home anymore.
But at uni there's a Steinway, a Bosendorfer, a Bechstein, and a Blüthner grands, plus two Yamaha uprights and two Weimar uprights.
My fav among these are the Bosendorfer and the Bechstein...

[Wired]

Yay! Last weekend a new addition came to the apartment. A Yamaha P60, which feels incredibly real -- just like one of their grands. The sound's pretty good too, could be better, but I'm thoroughly impressed. Much better than my SP88, which luckily just finished selling on eBay to reclaim most of my purchase price of the new p60

Hmm.. time to go play more

[arcadi]

i have 2 steinway ds, a bechstein, and have just bought my first fazioli. no, i don't really, i have a schimmel upright. anyone else got a schimmel? what do you think?

[inkiepoo]

When my husband bought my piano for me, he let me loose in a large music store where there were many pianos to choose from.

I went around playing each one and finally found my "dream" piano!! I was just thrilled with the sound of it. When I told him and he asked the price, it was over $100,000!!!

Ah-hem...needless to say, we kept looking and I found a Japanese model called a "mauri" that was supposed to be modeled after the steinway or yamaha or something grand. I love it. Plus the price was much more reasonable.  

But I'll never ever forget the sound of that other piano. It was just lovely!!

Kawai RX-A.

I got mine used. I have only seen/played two RX-A's myself despite effort to seek out more samples -- still collecting info on this piano ( https://coredump.multics.org/p197/Kawai_RX-A.html ). I would love to hear from anyone with RX-A experience, good and bad, whether as a pianist, dealer, tuner, technician, etc. Thanks.

[The Tempest]

I have a fairly good Yamaha U1 at home.

My school has two Yamaha S4 Grands, and they're excellent.


But still not good enough for me. I want a Steinway.

[Clare]

I've got an upright Stahlmann, which I'd never heard of before. Anyone know anything about Stahlmanns?

[jennbo]

I have a Young Chang which has been to 3 continents with me since I was 3.  Although I hate its sound sometimes, it's just a part of me.  eh im getting mushy.

But I'd really like a bosendorfer or a kawai

[namui]

Yamaha C3

[Jemmers]

I have... an Petrof that is NOT ageing gracefully at all.

So I play on my... Yamaha Clavinova. Yeah, so it's digital. I'm a heathen. BITE ME!!!

It's not all that bad....

[Chitch]

Steinway baby grand

[maryruth]

I just got a 6'1 Fandrich & Sons this year.  I love it.  The tone quality is superb and the key weighting is wonderfully even. 

[Waldszenen]

Yamaha U1

[Dazzer]

sauter mini grand.,

[marialice]

A Sauter grand with my parents and a Schimmel upright with my boyfriend. The Sauter is in desperate need of a tuning.

[nicko124]

The two pianos i have at home is a John Brinsmead and Sons (extinct make now, very old) Baby Grand and a fairly new Kawai Upright.

The grands i use at school for perorming are a Yamaha Baby Grand and Yeung Cheung Concert grand: I actually prefer the baby grand though as it is a top class baby grand as oppose to the Yeung Cheung which is a low quality concert grand.

[pianomann1984]

I have an 1897 Bechstein upright with original felts/hammers.  Needs restringing, but I can't afford the tuning afterwards!  At college we have about 50 Steinway B's, Kawais and a couple of petrofs, as well as a good few uprights.  For performing on, we have 3 Steinway D's and a Bosendorfer Imperial dotted about the place!  We are soo lucky! 

[Tash]

carl ecke that's like 80yrs old, and a yamaha clavinova. but i want to buy a steinway upright if my parents will pay for it!

[Siberian Husky]

am i the only one with a wurlitzer?..i mean i know they are crap..but man i'llplay on anything i dont care

[Aniam]

Rebuilt Julius Hofmann baby grand. Had never heard of that brand before. Apparently it's from a now defunct Austrian company. Anyway, it has a nice warm tone and a sensitive touch. My parents have an extremely old Bluthner that's practically unplayable.

Kawai MP 9500, originally owned by Scriabin...

1926 Mason & Hamlin Model A; not a thing has been changed/rebuilt.  One of my very first teachers gave it to me., right after my parents' home was destroyed in a fire (along with the Wurlitzer Console that i started on).  The fire was about 6 months before i was scheduled to audition for undergraduate music school.  This former teacher of mine was a graduate of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY back in the 20's or 30's and she had 2 Mason and Hamlin grands. She invited me down for lunch and to give me copies of spare music that she had (Beethoven Sonatas, Bach WTC, etc.) as well as some suits that had belonged to her husband.  she wanted to hear my audition pieces and had me play some on each piano.  after inquiring about my preferences for touch, tone, and response, etc.  she told me she would have the red mahogany delivered to my parents' current residence. How's that for the act of an angel? God Bless her forever!
