It's a Bechstein. We did talk to the man who runs the shop. It had yet to be looked over by the tuner so it wasn't available to be looked at at the time. This is what it says about it on the website "We have in stock a Pre Owned Bechstein piano In Black Satin. The piano, made in Germany, is Iro...

When the tuner declared our piano dead she said it was because the soundboard was cracked. She said, and showed us, that she couldn't tighten the pins any more as they just un-tightened themselves again. There wasn't anything for them to grip. It was funny to watch at first, the pins moving her big ...

I'm going to see a piano on Thursday that is Oblique strung. I've never heard of it before. The man in the shop did try to explain it to me but I didn't really understand. Does anyone know anything about it?

ok heard back from the repair man. He says from what he's heard it will cost over £2000 to fix and its better just to get a new one. So I have a new question now.

Barrie,

Well if anyone wants to try it... It's something I'd love to do if we had the space, time and know how! It has three panels that would come out of the front so you could have three separate tanks with the two on the outside with like a single big colorful fish and the one in the middle with a little...

Thank you for the replies. Lighting it on fire is not something I really want to do :P Don't want a brand new piano either, i prefer the sound of the older ones, they seem richer. I will see about getting someone else to have a look at it. We know the Aflat key cannot be returned, we watched as she ...

We have a piano that has recently been diagnosed as dead. We were having problems with some keys sticking, some were not making a noise when played, and others were just plan out. We had a tuner round and she told us that it was acting as if half of it was damp, and the other half dried out. She tri...
