Did you restore this piano yourself it looks in great shape

[zeetek007]

I love the look and sound of upright pianos, great video btw.

[alterman156]

@zeetek007 The best upright pianos can often sound like good quality grand pianos. When when has the money, but does not have the space, buy the best quality upright piano that is available.

[zeetek007]

@alterman156 Yes I agree, they take up less space however I thought that uprights had an acoustical disadvantage when compared to a grand? Never any less I much prefer the sound of uprights and I especially love the honky tonk/tack piano sound.

great to show how to buy a piano. but what about all those people who not beable to use a acoustic piano becuse they live in department and neigbours would hate to hear. so please made a video hoe to find a digitalpiano that is so close to a real piano. I have spend hours of made a youtubechannel to show how a piano works

[alterman156]

@casioPX500L For those people who cannot have an acoustic piano because they either live in an apartment or a small house, buy the most realistic sounding digital piano that is available within your budget.

[casioPX500L]

@alterman156 yes. I have find that Kawai med a real keyaction with realwood in both white and black keys . RM3 keyaction. kawai CA13,CA63, CA93, MP-10. to affordable price. yamaha avantgrand N1,N2,N3 or GT-2 has same keyaction like a real piano but are fo expensive.

[tetranumerikus]

@afertyus1000

A guy who knows what he is talking about...

[afertyus1000]

@tetranumerikus yes he does,but it takes a while to learn how to buy a decent piano,not from 5 mins watching this video unfortunately

[krzysztofmajewski]

Helpful, but you might consider re-recording with better sound quality.

[Albertalice1]

Thank you for the very useful tips you gave us. 5 stars.

[jamirophan]

Amazing tips and very very well explained. Thanks a lot for the help in my quest for a good used piano! :) Keep it up.

[alterman156]

Thank you very much for your comment.

[tnmtemerity]

I wonder, do you use a historic temperment or equal temperment when your piano is tuned?

[alterman156]

I used the equal tone temperment which is quite suitable for any piano built during the 1900 - 1930 time period.

[mongess]

how much does it cost to replace 2 hammers?

[alterman156]

It is all according to the amount of time the technician needs to spend putting the hammers in.

[Cheesetubes]

Good

[garysdeskcom]

Excellent practical comments.

[moooingcow]

Well done! Thank you!

[CDNchicken]

Thank you for the advice, very well explained.

[shoemanbundy]

You sound damn nervous and frightened to be talking to us :p

[fclavijo]

THANKS!

[foobar247]

Excellent advice. Perhaps next time you could make a video that zooms the camera on the areas of interest that you are talking about. A beginner might not know the technical terms you refer to. i.e. me. :p
