Hi everyone, This may not be a proper post here but I am asking for kind help if anyone could offer. My friend will visit UK and she intends to buy a new harpsichord. Can I ask if anyone who could suggest any reputable dealers of new/second hand harpsichord? Dealers near (but not restricted) to Glas...

No intention to be a professional tuner at all. Being a concert pianist, I am very interested to know if there is any part-time or short training course on piano tunings/repair? Better be in Scotland. I think it is vitally important for serious pianists to have a wee bit of tuning experience and bas...

Currently, my room is about 55 % humidity read on the hygrometer. It says the ideal humidity would be 40-50%. Do I have to dehumidifier it or just leave as it is?

Barrie, s&s means steinway and sons or steingrabe?
How do you think of the carbon reaction or soundboard?

Hi, Actually the owner of the farm, Richard Dain was very nice to me. He booked a local farm guest room and a free dinner for me. I suggest you call them directly and I am pretty sure you will be better treated. I will keep you guys updated once i come back from Hurstwood. I look forward to be stunn...

Hi, I was turned down by the bluthner owner and I have to search piano with a budget 15k-20k for a baby grand (5'8) around again for my parents. For myself, I am still interested in Steinway and will visit shackell next week to see if I like those in stock. Just curious to know if any of the technic...

I have checked with the bluthner from a private owner. Unfortunately, the owner refused to sell the piano anymore (as he might ...
