Tickle the Ivories

[drrrtydancer]

I am looking to buy a piano, a baby grand or maybe an upright. Anybody know anybody who is selling one? Or have any advice on buying one? I took a few lessons when I was very young, and had a piano in the house I grew up in, but I don't have a clue about maintenance and what makes a quality piano. Any advice would be appreciated. Also, anybody

I'd recommend an upright or spinet (sp?) The "spinet" is similar to the upright with a shorter back, its more compressed and that makes the sound a little less full but the one I have at my moms house can easily fill the house with music. Baby grands are lovely and sound lovely but I've been told that when they go out of tune they cost much more to tune than an upright or "spinet" Local papers always have people selling there pianos, moving it will be the most difficult, then tuning it but once your in business it will be WONDERFUL!!! And as for lessons I would call Owens Music I go through them for all my piano needs.

Well Believe it or not I have had lessons once, on a spinet. I did not like that one, I can do upright, or baby grand, I just know what ever we get we will have for 50 yrs.... princessaiy? Do you think owens does used pianos, that will be in good shape?
