WOW!!! I NEVER expected so many good responses here... Thanks!!
David... I can probably use a piano at the conservatory; but the main problem is I have been playing an electronic piano for over 3 years. If I play on a REAL piano, I'm totally lost. So I need a piano to practice for my intrance exam.
Also, at the moment I'm not a student. Just a workerguy like most of you. Next year I'm a poor student again. I could buy a cheaper piano, which would allow me to eat a little more the next years, but on the other hand, I'm pretty spoiled with the good tunings and sound of my electronic piano. It really is the feel that is missing there...
I'm still doubting between a good and a cheaper model... The thing is, I will only be at home in weekends, and in the week I can practice at the conservatory. On the other hand, if I buy a good one now, it will still be good when I graduate... Very hard choices...
TMHill, fantastic answer. Wow. Thanks. Gotta read that a few more times.
What I can tell you already is that I need a light touch. I have very weak wrists; so heavy touch will just kill me...
Oh well... I'm getting used to the pain...
Michael. I don't have the time to order and read the book.... Wish I had. And it took me 2 months to get my mother to allow me to put an upright in the livingroom. I'm not gonna try the same thing for a baby grand.
Sonic; I want a real grand. Concert grand, everything, but I'm still on a budget and placing...
I will look for the Studio Schimmel or Steinways. Got a few more shops to visit. Also talked to the conductor of our fanfare, he 'knows' a guy in a shop somewhere... Might get a good deal there...
Keep it coming! Cool...
