Re: What is your favorite piano brand?
@Kevin Kang I've read about the Bechstein and all the technology from a luxury piano site. Hard to find a place to go in and play one unless you are in New York City or Miami.

Re: What is your favorite piano brand?
Bosendorfer for sure is my favorite. The version that would fit my home and creative aspirations would be the 225 with 92 keys. Other choices would be a Hamburg Steinway, Bechstein,…

Re: Group 4
@David I am using MuseScore and like it a whole lot. I did look at MagicScore but it was too cluttered. MuseScore 4.2 has a lot of similarities to Lime, as much of it is intuitive.…

Re: Group 4
I'm a little late to this as we've been inundated with challenging weather -- frigid, subzero, minus 47 wind chill, squalls, and of course the worse thing is the other drivers. So...glad to be here.…

Re: What is your favorite part about being a pianist?
I am so glad I was steered away from being a concert pianist. I would have hated it because I prefer to choose my repertoire and my audience. I play to impact my audience emotionally,…

Re: Do I need to upgrade to an acoustic piano?
@One Beat I know, I know. But when I play without recording, it translates differently and flows differently. I need to play not as a take but as a continuous flow, then it will come out right.…

Re: Do I need to upgrade to an acoustic piano?
@One Beat Not yet. I am a little too perfectionistic. I found that I spent too much time fighting my DAWs and workstations. I gave away my Motif 8 because it had weak piano sounds and was geared to…

Re: Do I need to upgrade to an acoustic piano?
I started on an acoustic grand upright that was crafted like 60+ years ago. The workmanship was incredible. The sound board was like WOW. So, when I started to get digital pianos because I am forever…

Re: What's the last LIVE concert you attended!
