Our own pianos

[Pierre Gevaert]

It looks like many pianotechnicians own an old piano ? 

So do I, an old (1925)high quality Belgian baby grand with tremendous
sustain (and loose tuningpins), but it stays remarquably well in tune and
has only verry minor pitch changes thrue the seasons. The action is from
Renner and  the plate looks verry strong.

My other favorite is waiting for a complete restauration an dis an old
(1895)German piano. A  rather unknown brand (Duysen) and it looks like a
copy from a Bechstein.

Hi all.

 

I am curious more than anything: what do you have for a piano in your 

own home?

 

Me? Charles Walter Console. I bought it when I was apartment dwelling, 

and move it into my Coach Home. Now that I have room for a Grand, I have 

a 1863 Style2 that will be getting the full treatment..a real labor of 

love for the foreseeable future.

 

I also admit that I rarely play the piano in my own home, so owning an 

antique that will be fully restored is a bit much..but I'm curious.
