Breaking in a new piano with Maple Leaf Rag

I played my first rag on my new piano. It was rough--the action on this piano is much heavier than on my old upright, so I had to fight it a bit. Fingers will get stronger as I get used to the piano. Don't worry about the fireplace. I never use it - this is California.

What a great song to break in a piano with! Nice job!

[RoryGarbutt]

it looks like an old sketch show epecially with the ragtime in the background. i kept thinking they were going to drop the piano on their heads or something

Nice playing on the "rag" but I have to say, those guys looked like they've set up a thousand grands. Good team work on the set up. Nice playing on the "break it in" phase. Hope you're still enjoying that sweet piano!

we always put the pedals last! i wouldnt risk to tip the piano on its pedals and 1 leg

You should put the film in black and white with some grain effects on it or something to make it look older and fit the music.

how much would one of these kinds of pianos cost?

Wooo! That's the piano I've got! Not many people buy it because of the price range nowadays...
