As it happens I own a Baby Grand built by Broadwood & Sons, well the bread knife sorted it, back in the days when antique brown wood was still much sought after, now it's next to worthless and co-incidently for sale since she's up and sold my gaff from under me and we're on the move.
Personally however I have a yamaha keyboard thing which I find much more convenient in my pathetic and these days infrequent attempts at tuneful noise making, something I've yet to master, a bit like dingy sailing only worse.

Do you tell other users on the noisemaker forums that the black keys should actually be white and vice-versa?

I have a piano (by ear) playing son. If he gets stuck he finds someone playing the piece on the net...and copies it.

Interestingly they were not always the way they are now. The same man who restored Blue Peter restores vintage piano`s and he has a very early one where the keys you would expect to be black are white and vice versa

Why am I not surpassed the man with the Blue Peter boat restores vintage piano's and gets the keys the wrong way round?

Looking gorgeous - I haven't time for wooden boats, but I love them, admire the effort required to restore and look after them. Especially good that it is an Int 14, such great boats.
I like to take pictures of sailing, but I'd rather be sailing!
