Am in the only weirdo who prefers the tone of a well kept vintage upright to most grands? IDK, most vertical grands in my experience have a sweeter rounder tone.
Really enjoy this channel and all the wonderful playing you do…..
Cheers
I like that dampened sound, I wish you had played it a bit more.
I don’t play piano, I’m a clarinetist , but pianos fascinate me.
Many years ago, the forties and fifties we had an old upright in our farmhouse. and I loved sitting at the keyboard.
I developed a fascination for player pianos and your recent Video showing how you could record a video ,it really amazes me. If you took an iPad video of a YouTube performance, could it be played back on that piano? Horowitz, for example, in your own home.
what’s the name of the song?
I like it. In between 90s Kawai and 90s Yamaha uprights but seems more vintage, especially below middle C.
I’m paused at 4:22; you have just stopped playing and I’m thinking, “This piano sure sounds damn good for an upright.” Let’s get back and hear your appraisal now. 🙂
Wow I really like the sound of this upright piano. Thanks for sharing!
Have you ever considered the idea of using comparisons? Pretty sure you like almost every piano you ever met!
Nice one, dude. Piano heaven with all those piano’s standing around! Can smell the unique warm piano smell circulating in that room. Home is wherever your piano stands.
Hey James, could you(if you have the lucky to find one of them in your country) make a video playing on a brazilian piano, like an Essenfelder or a Fritz Dobbert(which is the only piano manufacturer currently active in latin america)? Id like to hear your thoughts on them!
I cribbed this info from thepianoshopkent page:
“This piano was made in Japan by the Nippon Gakki company, which was the first piano manufacturer in that country. They were a parent company of Yamaha and this piano has a Yamaha action. The dimensions and general styling of the piano make it very similar to the Yamaha B2 model.
