Hi again dave (time will tell) looked it up! I am the proud owner of a Yamaha UX1, similar to U1 or U3, it is imported but all checked out by a good dealer, Sussex Pianos. My hubby bought it for my 40th, but a year early so I could start learning as soon as possible. :piano; I know diddly about pian...

Beat you! I took my driving test 5 times. I should be used to failure by now! Had another go at a smiley!

What a twit! Just read that back, should read 'glass half empty' and my smiley thing didn't work!!!

Was that the sort of reply you were looking for?

Don't be glass half full!!! You might get some really chilled out funky young person. There isn't room on this thread for two pesimists! :lol:

yourforte, thank you for your reply and Gill the piano thanks for the support! I have got a couple of second hand books to look at but I struggle trying to find something I like. It takes so long to work out just one line... so frustrating... can't wait until I am quicker. My teacher said she wants ...

To answer dave brum, I will try not to be boring. I was a start from scratch person, no previous music anything. My teacher started me on 5 fingers etc and nursery rhymes. I can't remember when I started learning the grade 1 pieces. She did a bit of everything each lesson, scales etc, parts of piece...

Thanks for your reply! I am still amazed by the whole internet blog forum stuff, that is my age!!! I took the exam on Saturday 22nd November and the examiner said I should hear in a couple of weeks. If you are interested I will put the result on here. And yes, I have discovered the youtube thing. It...

I am a late starter, 40, started about 18 months ago. I took grade 1 last week and really don't know what to think, my fingers were really shaking. Anyway, trying to look on the positive side, at least until I receive the result, I have bought the grade 2 2009-2010 exam pieces and they look soooo ha...

The ux1 is here. I love it. I think its beautiful. Sounds sooooo much better than the Bord and has a practice pedal (cotton wool can come out of ears now). I look forward to being able to play something remotely impressive!!! Thanks for reading/replying.

I am looking forward to the arrival. I am learning on a Bord (tiny piano) which is out of tune, some keys stick, some dont play and it was saved from a builders skip about three years ago. It has started me off but i can now tell its out of tune when i come back from lessons and practice. Bye Bord, ...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I dont think i have been ripped off, i just dont know if i made the right choice. Everyone you ask has different preferences so it is tricky to gauge advice. I paid 3350 for the piano and a lovely new leather stool, 5 years warranty, delivery and tuning when sett...

I am very new to piano playing and buying. I have read loads on the internet in an attempt to be prepared. Today i bought a used yamaha ux1, serial 367xxxx? The people were really helpful but i am now worried i might have made a mistake, having read more about yamahas. It is all so confusing. As i h...
