www.rickjonespianos.com

they advertise 'bring the kids...touch everything.'  hmm.  might try that.

scroll down and click on the pictures of the pianos that you are interested in.  am looking at a kawaii grand (6'1'') for $14,000.  i really want the first one (the 7'6") but that's ok.

Great site. I really love being able to hear what the pianos sound like.

I think you should go for it and get the 7'6" piano.

I like the 7' Schimmels and the Kawai RX7.

Cheers

glad you liked it!  they seem to have a good system of shipping them out, too.  i mean , if they offer the good prices on shipping themselves, it takes a load off.  that's the other half of buying, i guess.  getting it to your home or place where you want it.

you don't sound like it.  i would be kinda disappointed if i got there and he suddenly said 'don't touch the pianos.' 

now what is this about the happy farmer.  you changed it to a minor key and did in the wife and kids?

ps i don't care if you are rick jones or indiana jones.  what i want to know is if my teacher occasions this forum and what his user name is.  of course, he might call me a * too.  i don't know why - but even my grandmother has called me that.  must be a flaw in my nature.  i don't try to be one.  in fact, i try to be really nice.  maybe it's outright truthfulness.  if i don't like something and someone asks 'did you like that piano or did you like that performance.'  i'll give them a piece of my mind.  but, now i realize - if i don't like it to go outside - get in the car - and then give my reasons.  it's amazing how people accept a performance based on hearing it the first time and thinking it's so good.  but, only when you've heard a few others can you compare the qualities.

Hi, my post has been modified, so the joke is lost. Well, no doubt it would be lost on you anyway pianonut, unless you watch Chappelle.

chappelle is a nutcase. 

well, i don't cry anymore when i'm called a *.  it's sort of a term of endearment now.
