Thanks. As we've moved so often I sadly do not have my old piano books with me - somewhere in storage in a different country. I just really want to play well-known tunes - popular and classical.

Hi I'm keen to start playing the piano again. I only reached about Grade 3 level, but that was 20 years ago!! I can still read music and play very basic pieces. I will start lessons in about 2 - 3 months time, but have itchy fingers and would like to start playing a bit. What books could you recomme...

Thank you very much - your comments were very helpful. I'm finding it extremely interesting to learn all about the different pianos.

Visited a piano dealer and looked at the Boyd - not quite as nice looking as in the photo and sound ok; but not discarding it yet.They replaced the felts and reshaped the hamers, but apparently the tuning pins were still good. Is this good or bad? My daughter played a variety and I stood with my bac...

Thanks - I was interested in finding out about who made the pianos(Boyd) in the 1920s and what the quality was like then.

Please can you tell me what is the differnece between Zimmerman 1110 and 111V? Is there a difference in quality? I'd also like information on Boyd pianos - about 1925. It is now fully reconditioned.

I just remembered the point about central heating and pianos which were made earlier and wonder whether any pianos would be more or less suited to central heating - we'll have underfloor heat...

Once again thank you for the information. I'm rapidly learning a lot about pianos. Where are Boyd pianos made? Which are the most popular brand of pianos for sale in this country? I have about 2 months in which to find a piano; so I'm educating myself so that we can make the best possible purchase w...

Thanks for the information. I don't really like the look of the Yamaha pianos. The Zimmerman advertised on the site looks good though - better than the ones I've seen. It's a bit far though and I'm not sure whether it's wise to buy a piano if I haven't seen it? Maybe I should try and find one in my ...

Hi I'm looking to buy a secondhand upright piano for my daughter. She is only seven and has been doing lessons for a year and is progressing very well. We have just moved from abroad and I didn't want to bring our piano so far. I am clueless as to what would be a good buy and really need some advice...
