Book Reviews of 2008-2009 Annual Supplement to The Piano Book: Buying & Owning a New or Used Piano

Book Review: great reading for the piano enthusiast
Summary: 5 Stars

Once I got my copy of the piano, I could hardly put it down. Being a piano enthusiast (and pianist) all my life, I was interested in the history of all the different piano manufacturers and how they rated one against the other. This book definitely does that and more.

Also, having played a lot of different pianos (love those large grands, ha) during my life, and now owning both Yamaha C5 and Kawai KG5 grands, this book not only confirms my prior purchases; but also opens up many possibilities for future ownership of pianos from different manufacturers.

As for the yearly supplements, these are a must, especialy in this climate of every changing situations with the different piano manufactureres, e.g. Baldwin, Chinese pianos, etc.

Way to go, Larry Fine. We piano players salute you.
