Not to be outdone, this 1950 Hamilton (pics linked, not embedded, cause I already touched the per-post image limit) was free, acquired at the same time as the other one. (I wasn't sure which thread to post this in, or whether to post here or in pianist corner - non-classical, but since I didn't want to cross-post it, I put it here.) I'd like to learn some other types of music, like a few popular tunes, classical, etc (I can play a few, but would like to learn more songs - sometimes I can't always remember the good ones I've heard, nor do I know the names (but I often recognize a good one when I hear it again)), but I am most comfortable with playing gospel songs. I hope that those who are looking for a piano find a much better deal than I got, even to the point of making it look like I got pwned by a multi million dollar scammer. (It might not get done before next week though.)Īctually. I have a few songs recorded which I'll need to edit before I upload them so you can let me know what you guys think. While it helps to cut down on some of the other noises, I don't really like the tone when I record from there. I'd take a picture of the recording setup, but right now the piano is moved out in the room with the H2 on the stand behind the piano in the middle picking up off the soundboard. Those tunes were recorded with a Zoom H2 on a microphone stand in front of the piano, between me and near the middle / top of the music desk / front panel. now that you see the piano actually looks halfway decent (click on the thumbnails for larger images), do you forumites think the piano sounds good - has a good tone? (Individual songs linked below) Ok, I've had this piano for several months now, but just recently got around to recording some music on it.ĭoes this look like a bad purchase? It's a $349 1956 Baldwin Hamilton.

So, getting a 50 plus year old piano is junk, right? And if it's an $349 upright that age, is the buyer getting ripped off? What about if it's one that chances are it was beaten to death, based on where many pianos of that make and model have been? Most of the pianos that are recommended are fairly recent models.

I was reading a few forum threads where people are looking for a used piano on somewhere around a $1500-2500 budget or so.
