Not (C). For me, the differences between (A) and (B) don't matter much - it's just a matter of convenience. As for selection, enough pianos to highlight the more fundamental differences between different makes but also enough of each model/line to 'refine' the choice, just letting them feel the more...

I'm working on that right now and wow... I thought I had big hands. I've been told he could manage a 13th!

I know you need to maintain the website, but just remember people get really irritated when faced with invasive ads over tame ones.

If the tone can be tweaked just that little bit I'd be completely happy and wouldn't look back. My only worry is if it were simply not possible to do well because obviously every piano is different. I'm thinking in this case it's extremely unlikely... but asking here can't hurt. As for the room, it'...

Too good to be true?

First off, thank you all for your incredible helpfulness! (especially pianoguy). So, a yamaha U3 popped up very near me. 5 million, originally from a UK dealer, I'm told it was bought new but the learner lost interest and has been sitting in a living room since and kept tuned. Of course I went to pl...

Ah, thanks a bunch; just a normal U3 then. I just thought there might be something different about it because I never see that printed.

U3FS?

Thanks :) I made sure to have a good look at several U3s and was pleasantly surprised. Most were what I expected but one was voiced rather impressively. Other pianos I saw around that price range didn't really seem noteworthy (no pun intended). Of course I'll continue scouring shops, but if I were t...

A hint for a student?

Hi! I've been reading this forum for a while, and I'm finally getting around to take part. Visiting family over the last few holidays has really made it clear how wonderful and how wrecked different pianos can be, and also drawn my attention to how I actually need to get one of my own. Bottom line, ...
