Hey, I'm from Australia and I make music videos. I sing, play guitar and piano was wondering if you would please check out my channel. Please subscribe if you like what you hear - I would really appreciate your support. Take care, Hay.

[DanPostropheL]

I did subscribe. I'm absolutely swamped with keeping up -- but I LOVED what I heard. Mighty easy on the eyes too, if you don't mind me saying. :-)

A pleasure meeting you, Hay. Come again sometime!

Bt the way...i don't think it's a bad piano. I think the microphone you are using to record is though.  It needs to be place in a better spot. But she's super talented.

[DanPostropheL]

It's a good brand -- Cable -- but the cork is old and brittle, so it won't keep a tune in the upper register. It's also a short-stringed console upright, which I think makes the upper range sound "plinkier" and the low range "sloppy". I'm comparing its tone to brand new pianos on the showroom floor, and the baby grand at church, and I like their warmth much better.

But you're right. I'm using the mic on my Kodak digital cam to record, and it's horrid.

This is great. She's got lots talent. Love the melodies in this peice. It's not easy. I can see why she won the award. I love the chord changes in this piece.

5 stars.

[DanPostropheL]

Thank you so much! She and her piano Instructor put together the arpeggios between pieces to bridge them together, since they're in different keys, but the judge actually didn't like that.

Thanks for listening.

[MGSGeneral]

Wow, it's good, I like it! I said it before, but I don't like the sound of piano's, so that's why I won't favorite it, but it certainly is a 5 out of 5 video!

Wish Katie the best of luck with the State competition!!!

[DanPostropheL]

As I've said before, I appreciate you listening all the more because you don't like the sound of the piano!

This one has a bright tone I'm not particularly fond of anyway. But I only paid $50.00 for it, and it's worth a lot more, so I'll put up with it.

Thanks for listening,

[dogzrppl2]

She's good! Best of luck going to State.

[DanPostropheL]

Thank you!

[anakin1814]

Wow....incredible!

[DanPostropheL]

I say the same thing when I watch her. I can't wait till she can start accompanying my quintet. :-) Thanks for watching, Gary. You're a busy boy tonight!

[anakin1814]

Yeah...trying to get caught up on a few vids. It's been a long time since I actually watched a lot of videos...and it felt good to do so this evening! :)

[DanPostropheL]

Well, I appreciate you including mine in that effort, Gary. Thanks.

Thank you for listening, Peri!

[kenrg]

She's quite talented! Be sure to report back on the results.

[DanPostropheL]

She took a 1st Division rating today, and has the opportunity to go on to State Solo & Ensemble now. She has to decide by Wednesday.

Thanks for the encouragement!

[talk74]

sounds good - all the best for the competition :)

[DanPostropheL]

Thank you, I'll tell her. We're going out the door now to the competition.
