While I own and am happy with my RX5 6’6 Kawai, I’ve recently had the pleasure of playing several Hailun grand and up-right pianos here in Australia… (they are sold here under the name, Bernstein). I just wanted to confirm the praise for the Hailun piano in the above post. You are very talented and very generous with your time and talents. I just hope you got home safely because you had to be exhausted Mission Viego is a long drive from Los Angeles. Again, thank you for the wonderful concert.

People sometimes grow up with family ‘legends.’ But I do know my parents sacrificed greatly so that a piano would be in the house. I do know they were hand made and I believe the keys are ivory. I’m saving it for my grandchildren, if I am ever blessed enough to get them! Are you familiar with the brand? It is not a baby grand or a grand but it does have a lovely sound. We didn’t have furniture, but they bought me the piano. My parents bought me a Krakauer piano when I was very young.

You have stimulated me to start practicing again, at my vintage age. It was an ‘instant heirloom’ memory for me and everyone in attendance. Thank you so much for the WONDERFUL concert at Dorina and Michael Popa’s home last evening. Young Chang sells pianos under the Weber name.
