Piano

There is a big cast-iron frame inside, mounted on a sound board, over which the strings are tensioned to phemoninal poundage. Only cast-iron can take the strain. Add to that the key and hammer assemblies. Then the piano is clad in thick, dense wood to add depth and life to the tone.

Almost every modern piano has 36 black keys and 52 white keys for a total of 88 keys in all.

I am in San Antonio, TX and I just paid $400.00 for a 1969 Baldwin. It needs a little attention, about 3 - 5 strings need repair and one white key sticks. I was told by a reputable "piano man" that I was getting this piano as a "gift" at that price just b/c it is a Baldwin. Initially, I thought it might be 20 years old and even then he said that it was not considered "old' at 20. This man said everything on the piano is "fixable'. He said he sells 20yr old Baldwins for $2400.00.

The wood on the the right leg is chipped and the bench is chipped, will put a pad on the bench.. Otherwise it looks fine, the keys are not as white as I would like but it is just for my daughter to start to get a feel for the piano.

Although they are antiques, they were made by the proverbial "gazillions". If you pay $1.50 for 1 bona fide "rare" record u r close to paying too much. ******* Oh gosh yes. I agree! You can find the red Columbias by the truck load. Even the blue Columbias and Flag Columbias of the 20's are just everywhere. The two major companies of the time were Victor and Columbia and their records are all over the place. Even in mint condition they are only worth about a dollar or two. I wouldn't pay more than that. But now as years go by and they get more scarce, the price may go up but I wouldn't hold my breath for another 50 years or so. The high price stuff comes in the rare jazz and blues records of the 1920's and the black R&B and doo-wop records of the mid 1950's.

MONARCH A popular piano manufactured by the Monarch Piano Co., of Chicago. The Monarch pianos and player-pianos are desirable instruments of attractive character at moderate prices for unsurpassed values. Perfectly safe to buy. See the Baldwin Piano Co. 1900 - 9000 1930 - 217000 1933 - 238000 1938 - 282000 1910 - 57000 1931 - 223000 1934 - 247000 1940 - 300000 1920 - 127000 1932 - 232000 1935 - 251800 1941 - 302000

the top part is right hand and the bottom is left.

the notes on the top are above middle c, so you need to use your right hand.

vice versa with the left.

See the related links for a website that has the score available; #22 on the list is the sheet music for piano.

Yes, piano is an Italian word that prompts the same-spelled English loan noun.

Oh, my goodness! Many people call it the loud pedal. The right pedal is the damper pedal, and it gets the unfortunate nickname 'loud pedal' because with it you can open all the piano strings at the same time. The damper pedal's function is not to make anything louder than anything else; in fact volume is a function of how you use your body arms and wrists. The damper pedal can help the pianist create smoothe and beautiful legato and legatissimo lines, and there are things that can be done with it that would be somewhat difficult to describe briefly.

I'm still learning it, on the low side of the piano piano, it goes like: A B C D E... A DE, B A, (This part is pretty fast) A B C (fast part over) , B C , D F E....that all I know but I'm learning from this vid: www.dailymotion.com/video/xeas1c_how-to-play-mary-did-you-know-on-th_music#.UMqIJHd0g_w copy and paste in url or click it. It's very good! Usually the letters come printed on an edge of the piano. Hope it go good! It's a VERY good song! VERY good choice! XD ( D

The Wissner Piano Company (also known as Wissner & Sons) was established by Otto Wissner and his sons, William and Otto, Jr. in 1878. Their factories were located in Brooklyn, New York. Wissner is one of the lesser-known American piano manufacturers who built superb pianos of the highest quality and construction, but because of poor marketing, never achieved the world wide recognition they deserved. Their pianos were some of the finest, most expensive pianos money could buy. In addition to building pianos under the Wissner and Wissner & Sons brand names, the firm built pianos under the brand names of Leckerling, Reinhard, and Putnam. In the early 20th Century the firm was controlled by the Jansen Piano Company. The Wissner Company went out of business in about 1942 with the onset of World War 2.

Alpheus Babcock of Boston (USA) in 1825

A percussion instrument is struck, so any instrument that is NOT struck is NOT a percussion instrument, for example,

Strings: violin, cello, double bass.

Brass: trumpet, cornet, trombone

Woodwind: oboe, piccolo, saxophone

To determine the age of a Kohler and Campbell upright piano with a serial number of 803151, it would be best to contact Kohler and Campbell directly. The company is located in Gallatin, Tennessee and their phone number is (615) 206-0077.

No one can be named as the world's greatest pianist. However there are experts in this field. Some of them are David Lanz, Pascal Roge, David Helfgott etc.

The Organ and the keyboard, but other than that there are also other instruments that are Chordophones that belong to the percussion family. like the Hammered dulcimer, Cimbalom, Onavillu, Berimbau, Jhallari, Celesta.

Practice! It is the only way. Yes, it can be very boring, but the more you do the better you get and the more fun it becomes. There are games that are available that make learning a fun process, for example Fast Keys drastically improves your note recognition quickly, and it's free. You can play it at: http://martypapa.blogspot.com/2009/06/fast-keys.html If you are asking what the most efficient way to "sightread" piano is, the only acceptable way in my opinion is to learn piano, practice the music and eventually you will notice patterns and they will become familiar to you. Many people I know who can sightread piano have just taken piano lessons for a long period of time. There are other methods I've heard of that are supposedly quicker, but fast isn't always better. Seeing as I haven't invested in such projects, I would not recommend them. Sing the rhythems....then find the hand positions...and lastly check for black notes and chords. =answer= try to distinguish the middle c, first of all. then, try to slowly find other spots, such as d and e. memorize the first few notes on the music, and continuously practice. in the first few months or years, you might have some trouble reading all the notes quickly, and you might have to pause and count the spaces from the key you are playing now and the note you are trying to read, and figure out the place on the keyboard. have patience. i learned to sight read rapidly when i was nine, and it took me two years to gain that speed, and i started the piano when i was seven. you can do it! Practice hard, like me, and you might even be able to read an entire movement of a Mozart Sonata in fifteen minutes (like me, currently 12) If you already have some skill at practicing and playing piano, and want to improve your sight-reading skills: This becomes harder to do as you grow older. (The best way to learn sight-reading is to start early.) For adults, my experience is the best way to improve sight-reading is to simply do a lot of it. -Look at the music before-hand to familiarize yourself with the tempo, key and rhythm. -Try to imagine how it sounds in your head before you begin. -Be patient. -Go as slow as you must to get the notes right, and keep the rhythm steady. -Always try to look ahead for what's coming next. Look over the bar line to the next measure. -Keep going. Don't stop. If you make an error, don't go back. Don't speed up faster than you can get it right. -The speed will come with time. There are no short-cuts, just invest a lot of time. Good luck.
