Notable pianos I play:
![The only Blüthner piano I have ever played. Wonderful instrument! Blüthner was Tchaikovsky’s personal piano; as well as the piano used on the Beatles’ “Let It Be” track.](http://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/386408/3a6afc9987610006b2649c2ab61fb632e357bed2/original/bluth-resized.jpg/!!/b%3AW1sic2l6ZSIsIjM1MHciXV0%3D/meta%3AeyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ%3D%3D.jpg)

![The piano I most enjoy playing in my regular route: a 1934 Chickering. As well as my favorite piano make of all. Likely built in New York just after the company relocated from the Boston area.](http://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/386408/9b907cbee23c58448b15c7dc2a1e1f0c9c39343c/original/chick-resized.jpg/!!/b%3AW1sic2l6ZSIsIjM1MHciXV0%3D/meta%3AeyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ%3D%3D.jpg)

![The 1901 Steinway that was owned by Jack London’s wife Charmian.

![This is a Bergmann TG-157 grand piano. Actually just a subsidiary line of Young Chang. Bergmann production began around 1997.

![This is a Heintzman & Co. upright.

![Probably the very “newest” instrument I’ve ever played. I don’t even have serial number records on this Yamaha GB-1 grand. It’s probably less than a year old. I’ll be performing on this at Villa Capri mid-September. Yamaha’s GB pianos are the more compact versions of their CX, GC, and C3 line of instruments.](http://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/386408/2702d6aa8fb2d4dda7f1ebde1cbeec78c39262f2/original/villa-capri-resize-50.jpg/!!/b%3AW1sic2l6ZSIsIjM1MHciXV0%3D/meta%3AeyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ%3D%3D.jpg)
