Re: ABRSM vs ICMA

As a matter of interest, who is your teacher and how far away is he? For me, ABRSM as they are the most popular and it's what I'm used to. Maybe it's what teacher is used to also, if it's good enough for him sort of thing. I'd just concentrate on letting him be the master, after all whatever exam y...

Re: ABRSM vs ICMA

I was intending on working towards my grades under ABRSM, which my teacher is fine with, however, he has suggested I might want to consider ICMA exams instead. Is the IMCA not the Computer Music Association? I thought that when I first looked it up on the internet, but apparently is stands for Inde...

Piano removal

Hi, Having just purchased a beautiful second hand piano, I now have the dilemma of how to move it. Having received some ridiculous quotes from the professionals, and having access to three burly blokes and a van, I am considering moving the piano myself. Any advice on how to go about it, ie what wil...

Re: Brodmann BU-121

Thank you!

Originally priced at £1,200, and she has had an offer of £1,000 so far. Unfortunately due to the distance, I will be unable to get there until the weekend, and I fear it may be sold by then. What would you consider a sensible offer for a December 2006 model in excellent condition?
