bullet Recommended by Zorba! Link opens in new window Zorba's Online Shop - Lots of stuff of interest to piano lovers as well as Belly Dancers, including "The Piano Book" by Larry Fine.

bullet Recommended by Zorba! Link opens in new window Grand Obsession - A wonderful, recently released book about the author's piano journey.

bullet Link opens in new window Another Hobart M. Cable - a 1925 version of the same model as mine. Can you see the subtle differences? From Link opens in new window OldPianos.Com

bullet Link opens in new window The Modern Hobart M. Cable - Like so many others, the name Hobart M. Cable has been acquired by an Asian piano company. Maybe they're junk, maybe they're just great, I don't know. See the latest annual supplement to The Piano Book to find out! UPDATE: Actually saw one of these in person - at my local Costco of all places. Looked good, for what that's worth!

bullet Recommended by Zorba! Link opens in new window Steve's Piano Service - This is the site that helped me learn what the insides of a piano do, and how to take apart and fix things. He also sells just about any kind of piano part you can name. Highly recommended!

bullet Link opens in new window Astin-Weight Pianos - If I were to buy a new one, it most likely would be one of these!

bullet Link opens in new window Rubenstein Pianos - Or perhaps, it would be one of these...

bullet Link opens in new window Overs Pianos - Or maybe even one of these...

bullet Link opens in new window Beethoven Pianos - And I'd like to buy it from these folks...

bullet Link opens in new window Second Hand Pianos - Piano store in Seattle that "re-whatevers" mostly beautiful old uprights. Can't vouch for them either way, but I like their style.

bullet Link opens in new window Piano Solutions - Piano store in Indiana that sells new and used instruments. Can't vouch for them either way, but I keep hearing good things about them.

bullet Link opens in new window Free Grand Piano! - Just print it out on card stock, cut it out, and assemble!

bullet Link opens in new window Find a FREE piano in your area! - Cool idea - but remember Caveat Emptor and bring along a good technician before you haul one home!

bullet Recommended by Zorba! Link opens in new window Note by Note - Excellent video documentary of the construction of a Steinway grand. Now available on DVD!
