i don't have one. does size matter? i think the medium sized ones sound the best. i was surprised that i really don't like those 9 foot bosendorfers that much. the treble is plinky.

Yamaha C7. Some guys think it's just too much piano for them, but once I make them try it they're always coming back begging to play with it some more ^^

The size should match the room.

Sometimes I wonder why people dwell on the piano so much. The room contribute the reverb and definitely affects the sound and performance. And the choice of piano. Why not ask "what kind of performance space do you have?"

Piano size is one thing but moustache size is entirley different beast.

7 inches is a good size for a moustache. Congratulations pies. Well done.

Now take my moustache. It is very full and extends out quite a bit under my nose. I groom is every day. It takes that kind of committment to get it in the awesome moustache shape it is.

Did you know I had to turn down the part of Indiana in Raiders of the Lost Ark because I was busy with my Magnum series? Yes, it's true. I really think Raiders would have had so much more box office smashing success if the character of Indiana had a moustache though. Can't win em all though but I just can't help feeling the film is missing something. It's missing that moustache.

I highly recommend that everyone at least tries growing a moustache. It will do wonders for your piano playing.

Inches, eh? Want to have a sword fight?

according to the flow of this discussion - 7" is referring to performance space. see what i tell you - men are always inflating figures.

To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
