I just think that people like Oscar Peterson, Art Tatem have high standards beyond ours. i hope i come across these pianos you mention and i will forward the favorable result i'm sure to you. my experience is extensive but i stopped doing dealer work in 1982 favoring the home customer. i do know that my taste in piano sound is the same as the great artists of all time. did you like the Falconi pianos? on 2/12/03 10:17 AM, Roger Jolly at roger.j@sasktel.net wrote: Hi Armond, It seems you have very strong opinions, about piano quality, yet you freely admit not ever seeing a Canadian brand and are un familiar with some German brands. As for saying Great Artist never played Canadian pianos. Well I will make a plain statement. You do not know what you are talking about. Your post just indicates to me that you are devoid of any real experience. I am sorry for this caustic post, but you are over the line in my book. Roger Jolly Forever an apprentice in this business.

Sorry Armand, the best upright pianos ever made were during the 20's, but made in Canada. Kenneth Finlayson, RPT i don't know why everyone is talking uprights and i never heard of any great artists playing on Canadian pianos in the 1920's or any other time. I'm sure they would of if they were so good. it just that no one would be able to see the person playing a freaking upright at a concert, plus it would block the view of the orchestra. did you ever hear of one of those? what are you guys, 19 years old? i guess the great artists in this country missed out on canadian pianos too. it's too bad, i could only imagine how much better things would have been in the field of music. gee the concert was great, but you know, i wish i could of seen the guys face. uprights, consoles, and spinets, were only made to increase sales being designed to fit in homes, just like small grands, as the public was allowed to make more money in those days. at first for years technicians refused to even tune the spinet when it first came out. Armond, spelled with an "o". i guess Deb Rogers should have set out to buy a 1927 Canadian Upright instead of the Steinway Grand she did buy, obviously from a questionable "piano dealer". Canada is for socialized medicine, not pianos. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
