Yes Kathik, I live in Bari Palese, near the airport.

The upgraded from digital to acoustic is fantastic! The action is much better, the sound is vibrating and much more complex and resonanting!

I think that's a rather beautiful finish. I like the contrasting black on the rim and lid, too.

I haven't played one. I'm not sure what I think of the Stuart, based on recordings. Obviously very powerful. I think of the Aussie product, I prefer the tone coming out of Ron Overs' pianos over the Stuart (or over anything, really).

Yes, I think that is the same finish - very classy from the pictures - but not his 'cup of tea'.

Here's a picture from the Overs' place:

THanks KathyK. Yes that is the one I thought was unusual enough to post! What a base it is on!

I usually do a 'save' and then try to do something off the net. This pic would not save and the best pic here was on the Adobe pdf. Sorry about that. And thanks for posting it.

Roberta, just in from touring the depressiong winter garden - in 50 degree weather...what the heck is going on? This would have been perfect weather for the NYC walk. Darn.

Excellent! Action is a complex thing, isn't it?

Lily, I'll have to send JF to commiserate with you. I don't know if you remember, but he is a lily lover.

The base on this piano is actually a giant suction cup. If you give the piano a hard shove, it goes boing boing boing.
