Thanks everyone. By the way, how long does it take for other posts to get approved? I have a few pending posts.

I have never listen a Yamaha.

It's very clear and powerful. Some say they are bright, but to my ears mine isn't. Of course, a Hamburg Steinway grand would be nice, but I don't have a spare $150,000! I just retired as a high school English teacher, so I have to watch my budget--within acceptable limits!

Here's a picture that shows more decor minus my cat's tail!

Welcome to the sweet spot and glad to have you here!

Great, thanks for inform.
I appreciated your decor room, certainly is a good room for live music-very live acoustics; if you place the B3 in a damped room its treble energy would be lower.

I suspect your B3 sound just as I have listen in recordings of a Yamaha Grand.
Enjoy

It sounds great in my room. I like the liveliness. My listening area has a large rug to dampen the highs a bit. (This is an old picture: I no longer have that Pass Labs amp.)

I like your carpet, a perfect match for your piano !

There was a NY Times article a couple of years ago (you can google it) where people were literally trashing their pianos because no one wants 'em or plays 'em any more. How close do you live to a major city? Maybe you can put an ad up willing to haul away a piano for minimal cost.

I'm not sure what I said, but I love my piano and have no intention of getting rid of it! I live about 70 miles from San Francisco, and about 20 from Sacramento.
