why do i keep mistaking kawai for kawaii

[JohnK]

Because you've read the word "kawaii" more times than "Kawai", so your brain automatically confuses the two, I guess. The human brain does all sorts of weird stuff, usually to save time/energy.

save up for a 'Fazioli' grand. Made in Italy. Very expensive but the sound is just beautiful.
Buy it if you are actually going to continue playing piano for a very long time and you would love to be a professional.
THE BEST. Guarantee


I do recommend 'Steinway and Sons'. yes always the best. And a more suitable piano because the Fazioli is more like a concert piano for big performances.

Others can be Yamaha, Overs (I think that's how you spell it) or Kawai. All a well-known and trustworthy.




GOOD LUCK

The local piano dealer has a 10' Fazioli concert grand. Gorgeous instrument, but I doubt it'll ever sell. Even in the biggest mansions, it'll still be too big (rule of thumb, IIRC, is that the perimeter/10 is the max size of piano you can put in a room without it sounding like crap). While there are those crazies who put a Steinway B (7' grand) into a 10'x15' living room, a piano of any size needs proper room to really come to life. A spinet or petite grand will sound fine in a practice room or small living room, but it'll be basically lost in a larger room or concert hall. Likewise, a concert grand or super-big upright will sound wonderful in the concert hall or very large living room, but it'll way overpower the space and sound dead in a small-average sized room.

Steinways aren't exactly "home" pianos. My cousins' Steinway, even when they put the cloth and Hummel creche and oodles of fake snow and other decorations on the top at Christmastime, still resonates throughout the house without a problem. Most American (and Asian) pianos, even in the home-sized models, tend to be quite loud. European pianos tend to be much quieter, probably because more people live in smaller homes/apartments.

Yamahas always felt kinda boring. Not bad, but not inspiring or interesting. Not sure what an "Overs" is. Do you have a picture of one?

[Pit0010]

well yes Fazioli's are more for a concert hall...coz they are usually a concert grand.

I've got a Yamaha grand and it's still in very good conditions.
Maybe consider getting a baby grand? XD Just a smaller version of a grand of course...

My school has a 'Over's grand piano and it's pretty good but maybe not as good as the yamaha.

If u read that article...it says the Conservatorium of Music owns this piano. Yep...that's where I go to xD

Yah well...I'm assuming you don't live in Australia so it might be harder to get your hands on an 'Overs'

If you registered Notepad, you should get an email about the promotion with the code to use when purchasing.

I registered Notepad last year... I never got such an email. Is there something I'm missing here?

[FireArrow]

Makemusic is odd - I got emailed about promotions without registering notepad, however, I never get emails now that I have a registered full version.
