Would anyone like to estimate this one, a Baldwin Model R serial #18370. Thanks.

Yes, perhaps I should unplug the headphones.

I regularly shout at the radio when they talk about the Bisham roundabout as Bish-am when it's actually Bissum.But the announcers take no notice... Are you sure your radio's turned on and the volume all the way up, I really don't understand why the announcers can't hear you. I also don't understand...

Yes, Colin. I think he can't help himself, he just projects automatically! A different country might mean you'd get more practice done - not a bad idea... Or a different country would mean different women, and you wouldn't get any practicing done, (I assume you're a man, other wise read it the othe...

I would think that for Amnesty International to become involved, you would need to move out of the country, which might not be a bad idea, under the circumstances.

Have you ever tried to play classical music with a 4 year old telling you, you could only use this much of the keyboard, or was playing on the keys while you were trying to play? . Yes, and I've tried to tune a piano with 3 year old twins belting away at the keyboard, one each end, while the mother...

I said it was odd that I'm having trouble finding time to practice now. When I had the grandchildren I could sit and play anytime when they were not napping, but when I did sit down to play it would only be for a short time till the 4 year old girl came over and wanted to play too. Have you ever tri...

Well I used to like it as a nipper (Patrick Troughton & then John Pertwee) but from behind the sofa, like most kids, in case a dalek got me. Not so keen on the modern jobbies except for David Tennant whom I thought was wonderful! What level do you play to? Have a mooch in the local music shop -...

That was me...I used to have a pic of me in my smart car (the make. It is far from smart in real life - more a rolling shed) as an avatar but it vanished and since my bro once said that it was smaller than a dalek I thought I'd use that instead. So glad you've got another piano and that you're enjo...

A friend of mine likes to pick on his wife by mispronouncing the name of a town they once lived in. Lancaster Pa. pronounced by the natives as Lank-aster, but he would get her going by pronouncing it as Lan-caster. Many years ago there was a Drum and bugle Corps from Emmaus Pa. and it was pronounced...

I have a Baldwin model R in my living room and my granddaughter (age 5) has expressed an interest in learning to play. So when she came out we would have a "lesson" where she mostly just made up her own songs. At one point she said that if she had a piano at her house she could practice mo...

Hello, I'm starting again. I've had a piano in the house for about 3.5 years after about 40 years without one. I have a Baldwin model R built in 1911, black ebony finish and it looks and plays really good for it's age. It's in my living room with a lot of room to spare, not like the usual living roo...
