So far I'm at 21 degrees C and 31% humidity. That's about what I thought it would be.

Thanks Barrie. I spoke to Forsyth today about it. They're sending out a thermometer/hygrometer and a chart to write down readings twice a day until they deliver the piano. They know it's a silent one though. They said they can fit one if the readings show that I need one. Should I ask again?

I've had a Roland piano stool for 13 years and is still fine. That cost me about £50. It all depends how you look after things really. I've seen a duet stool in black gloss with black vinyl cushion, storage for music and height adjustable from 20" to 23". That costs £280 online. The kids a...

Just ordered a new piano but now need a new stool so I don't have to stand up to play. Ideally, I would like to have a black gloss wooden one (to match the piano), height adjustable, storage for my sheet music and to be a duet seat with a black vinyl/leather padded bit for my bum. Just a single seat...

Colin - forgot to mention - any chance you could run the vac round it, do me an oil change, clean the windows and frames,clip the cats claws and make a cuppa whilst you're here?

Colin, got sorted on piano. Could you send me some info on those life saver things please and costs? Will need to talk to you about it before I ask you to come to tune it. Bought it from Forsyth at Manchester. Really really happy with their help and advice. Thanks to everybody on here too. I really ...

I now know its a solid Bavarian spruce soundboard and made in Indonesia which I'm told doesn't make any difference as it it to Yamaha standard. Right, I have one last question to ask (honest) ..... Ive seen all different references after model number which isnt to do with colour/finish. Eg P121M or ...

Do you know if the P121 silent is made in Japan or Indonesia? Would this really matter?

Thanks Barrie and Colin. I've read that the yamaha has a bright sound. Given that I have a small dining room with heavy carpet and lined curtains do you think that would mellow the sound much. Many thanks

Thanks very much Barrie. I would class myself as a novice really. Haven't sat any exams and have learned from music books like Alfreds piano course etc. I can't pick up any sheet music and play it but given time with i can memorise the notes and get better each time. I have thought about a teacher b...

Thanks for that. I had read the previous thread. i found it quite intersting and he obviously did hiw homework. the difference is he went for a B series and i'm looking at a P series as i want to hook it up to the laptop as well as have different voices to use. He seemed to really like it in acousti...

Thanks very much for that. I had read that thread previously which was of some help. In fact I read right back to 2009. Thought going back further would possibly mean electronics side info would be out of date. It did help a little but so much choice means more confusion. With a budget up to £6500 (...

Hi all I'm going to buy a new silent upright but want to make sure I'm buying the right one. I've only been to one shop to look and they were very helpful although the ones they had as silent ones were pre owned and I want to get a new one. I have read a lot of threads on here with a lot of good hel...
