1923 6ft 4in Knabe "Hepplewhite" - Slumming On Park Avenue - Irving Berlin

[@George-v9r7k]

Just great to hear Berlin. Thank you wonderful sound.

[@George-v9r7k]

You have that 1930,s feel for this song like you could accompany Al Bowley or Bing Crosby. Love it, your fills are wonderful.

You are one extremely good pianist. A perfect fit for your lovely piano!

[@janvickhughes1637]

Lovely tone to that piano.

[@bachtube11]

Really advanced playing, my respect, got my like! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Xpian]

It really is! There are people who can play piano-some even well enough-then there are pianists! An instinct for expression, phrasing, and arrangement-on top of technique-just cannot be taught! In my opinion, it's a gift but more than a gift, there's years of dedicated practice…and the love of it!

[@SevenPlus65]

What a great performance! I just noticed your photo of Frank Milne! .... looks to match his talent. His rolls are among my favorites in my collection. Looking forward to your next post.

Fabulous piano playing. Many thanks, Nic.

Thank you, kindly. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

You never cease to amaze me!

What a stunning baby grand 🙋🏼‍♀️🎹

Another "Ampico kid" before Christmas ? Amazing technique !

[@Yalie06405]

@@zigouigouix Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I would hope Ampico would have approved that arrangement!

@@Yalie06405 All you've got to do is asking Adam (Christmas ?) Carroll in the sky .... Thank you for your so many talents : I'm now stuck on your very last video, listening and watching it back regularly, to taste it in every detail. Can you imagine recording new "re-enacting" rolls could become an easy process ? I wish we'll have good surprises some day .... Your French Ampico agent

He's back! :D

Old Grand Dad is back at it again!

@@Yalie06405 😂Well I'm looking forward to the new videos I'm sure will be sneaking out! I really want to see that roll of It's Winter Again play :D

[@Yalie06405]

@PiotrBarcz I was planning on uploading that one this week! 🙂🎄

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@Yalie06405 Yaaaay! I can't wait to see how it sounds!

[@SevenPlus65]

​@@Yalie06405I've not commented that much on your video posts (shame on me), but I have always appreciated your talent and the humble and professional way you've posted your videos. It draws respect and admiration. If I may say, your earliest posts of your upright player was encouragement to me to post a few rolls of my own. It's a soothing place to hang out on your channel 😉

That piano has such a wonderful clear sound. Who said you can not get a good sound from a baby grand?

[@Yalie06405]

@velcroman11 It does have wonderful clarity. It helps that the previous owner replaced everything on this piano, including installing a new soundboard and bridges. This piano is actually quite large being 6ft 4in. It also has a harpsichord case with a super wide tail due to the case design so I'm sure the added soundboard area helps too.

[@Xpian]

Cheers for this! Christmas came early… I especially enjoy it when you play yourself! (Even when I was at my best -and that was l o n g a g o- I wasn't a patch on you!)

[@Yalie06405]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It took me several recording sessions to finally get the correct arrangement. It's NEVER the same thing twice.
