@Aleksandra Bogomaz I always wondered how he could possibly have played the Ballade with frozen fingers and no practice for months(?) Thanks for sharing this.

Re: music score software
@Gail Starr I love your idea of a piece of carpet and velcro! Does the carpet need a non slip backing (like a bath mat) or is your right foot enough to keep it in place?…

Re: What is your favorite piano brand?
@John Goodman Thank you, John. The thought of the action being like new again is exciting! It hasn’t been right for some time now. I guess there is only so much you can do with 50+ year old hammers!

Re: What is your favorite piano brand?
I have had my Baldwin grand model R since I was in the 8th grade. It was built in 1967. I have loved it, especially the rich, resonant bass register. Though I’m not sure if I could ever part with it,…
