I would like to say a big thank you to the folks at Theme & Variations for allowing me to spend some time in their store yesterday playing a variety of Steinway & Sons grand pianos.

What did I learn?
That I have expensive taste, to the tune of close to $200,000.

I played the most magnificent concert Steinway Grand D series that gets rented out so it’s voiced nice and bright for a concert hall. Oh my god, what a magnificent piano. I think I’m almost too scared to touch another one for a few days. When I do, I’m going to have to apologise to my ears

I am going to own a Steinway grand piano one day. Perhaps not the D series, but I will be buying a smaller one. Mark my words.

(and thank you to my lovely husband who bought me a surprise Steinway mug so I can relive the fun I had!)
