It's the monstrous Bosendorfer Imperial 290... quite a fun piano to play.

Thanks!

Just recently returned here, so I may have missed more recent posts of yours.

Lord, what an ambitious undertaking! Beautiful sound, Josh, and that impossible fugue actually made sense to me! Such a mammoth piece will undoubtedly be a work in progress for the rest of your performing life. Congratulations.

Are you working on a DMA now? Or done with schooling?

Best,

Michael
