Re: Piano Manufacturers and Brands: A discussion!
@Leon Rasberry What do you have now? I used to have a Yamaha digital piano with a Bösendorfer setting. I think Bösendorfer actions are less stiff than Yamaha actions,…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages and answering your questions (Jarred Dunn feat. Bach!)
@Alexander Harvey @Alexander Harvey said: I start from the end of the movement, and I work backwards. I do this because, often, the trickiest bits happen to be at the end of the piece.…
