Shameless.... :)

Thanks Ric

Its a Bohemia...which is much the same as Petrof really... some 
differences.  Pretty ok all in all.  They get a bad rap from most 
pianists tho.  None of the pianists except the Prof himself and his 
niece would play the thing for the concert.  Well... Håvard Gimse 
actually played short pieces on both and there was a double grand piece 
at the end... but all the others just didnt even give it a second look. 
The Steinway thing you know.  That said... the Steinway is really a much 
better instrument. Still... Bohemias, like Petrofs are very good in 
terms of being cost-effective. In their price class they have the nicest 
sound I've run into.  A good tech can make them run well enough.

Cheers

    Congratulations RicB.
    I see that there is a Petrof lurking amongst the piano fleet.  Any 
    good?
