There's a grand piano at the reception of the hotel where I work. I think I might get sacked if I open it up and start playing though

Looks good. Is this the one that was from Plymouth?
What exactly is hammer action? I prefer the feel of my keyboard to the piano (simply because I learnt on keyboard, I suppose) - does that mean hammer action isn't for me? Or is it more about the sound?

No, this one is in Cardiff ! going to my sister's who lives in Cardiff and her bf is taking me there. Bonus as he is Grade 7 at Piano So he'll play a piece or 2 on it to test it out first and checking it out.

Hammer action is like the feel of a real piano, so you get the sound of a grand piano, the feel and touch of a grand piano, minus the size and the need of tuning of a grand piano. and its cheaper ! Except it's not a piece of furniture.

Well, what a morning ! Got up bright and early to make my way into Cardiff (beating all those rugby fans), and made my way to the seller's house, picked it up, got it back on the train as all those fans was getting off and now home ! It's not too heavy (but it weights enough), the main problem is it is very awkward to carry though.



Now to find a piano teacher !
