Moving a piano from Greece to the Uk

Does anybody have an idea about prices of moving pianos from country to country. Specifically it is an upright (big size though) Kraus, very good piano (worth something like 6-7,000 GBP) which is mine and is sitting in the house of my sister in law. My sister is leaving Greece, so the piano needs a ...

I think that patience is not one of your virtues, right? Now, on what you asked for. For me, I think that 5 ocatves are not enough to practise. But then again it depends on what you're practising. And for me, again, I think that unless you use a sampler and a laptop, you won't get any decent piano s...

hi George,

wanted to let you know that I get a 404 message from your link...

I tried deleting the dot in the end, but still never worked. Your site is down?

I would like to listen to the C# prelude (I use to play it myself, but alas, I let go, to become a composer...)

Hi Debbie, first of all I live in alperton which is quiet near Harrow, so this is good. I have been playing piano, since the age of five (and now I'm 28 years old), and I have a diploma in piano (from Greece, which is the highest degree for piano). I have also worked in piano bars in Greece, alone a...

Slow bandwith... I had to wait, but only around ten minutes to get the whole video downloaded... And it wasn't worth it really. Impresive, true, but I don't enjoy this much technical stuff for no apparent reason. At least when Mozart wrote it there must have been a reason. Here... Well... Maybe I'm ...

You're not telling us, what you want the piano for. I mean since you want a grand you must have enough space to go in. But I mean a lot of space. And it does sound a little strange wanting to go straight to a grand piano without knowing anything about piano manufacturers. If you are a beginner I wou...

Actually this is a good idea. I never thought of approaching other universities/conservatories. Especially RAM and RCM are both excellent choices! Thank you for that. And thanks for listening to my music, and the kidn words. I actually find Finale more to my taste. I think it has to do with traditio...

Ok. I did use computer for the score (since I have a pdf file, I must've created this somehow...) And for the record: I did export the midi file from Finale (a simmilar program with Sibelius for those of you that don't know), then imported it to Cubase and with the aid of GigaSampler and GigaPiano I...
