Other than, when you can afford it, of course. When can you seriously justify such a beautiful indulgence? I'm totally obsessing about getting a grand piano, I'm at the higher levels, like grade 8 or more, 23 years ago I was in grade 9 and quit just before getting grade 10 (like an idiot). I'm aiming for getting my ARCT, if possible in the next 5 years, taking beginner students in a couple of years. Also, I'm studying jazz piano at the same time. I practise 3 hours a day, but would love to practise 5 hours at least (I've got a life and a day job). I would also love to become a performer, and record and sell my music, I'll be starting that this year. What do you think? Am I ready for a grand?!!!???
what if I'm an amateur ... but then am too used to the grand's machanism... sad...
How do you get one inside your house? lol
They take the "legs" (dunno the word for it, the things the grand piano is standing on), they turn the grand vertically and they drive it into your house with a "skateboard on wheels" (again, I don't know the good word for it). When the grand is in the room it's supposed to be, they attach the legs.Maybe someone else can explain in good English?
NOW! Don't worry about money. I got a Steinway B 5 years ago and still owe $10,000 and don't care a bit! It is worth it.
