  • Brilliant, It's like he's a reincarnation of Scott Joplin :D

    P.S Will Adam Be Able To Play In The 2011 O.T.P.C

  • @19Summers94

    Yes. He'll be playing on Saturday night in the Dinner With The Champion as well as the show. And he's bringing Johnny Maddox with him. Also, they'll both be doing the riverboat cruise on Friday.

  • What type and brand of piano is this ? Never seen one quite like it.

    Fantastic sound... of course Adam is wonderful !

  • From the contest web site:

    "It is an 1883 rosewood Weber upright. It has a full-sized "bird cage" style action. The dampers are above the hammers instead of below. When discovered in 1986, it was an ugly behemoth which had been painted white. Herb Dady of Nashville refurbished it in 1987/88 with new pins, hammers, and felts. The original ivory keys were retained and repaired. The following year it was stripped and refinished to its native rosewood. "
