It was a joke... it was to say that in my opinion the "double" is a... you know Sergeant Fatozzi when he says «For me, the Battleship "Cotiomchin" is... a crazy piece of s***!». Well... not exactly, but we're in that ballpark.

Yes, mine was a joke too.

Anyway, jokes aside. I played on the Borgato in Todi, not the double Borgato; I must say it sounds very good. The keyboard also seemed very pleasant to me, partly because it is a concert grand piano that is highly regarded by its maker, who is always present at concerts performed on his piano.

Can the toy piano also be considered a strange piano according to the title of this topic?

Of course! Very strange!

A curiosity: when buying a toy piano, which tuners or technicians should one contact to have it tuned?

Much more than a double bass

What range would it have ... for mere mortals? Consider middle C c4.

Thank you

Only later did I reflect that it was for pedal solo, beautiful, I didn't know it.

The 220 Hz ... so A3 (440(concert pitch, A4)/2)

220/2=110 so A2

110/2=55 so A1

55/2= 27.5 so A0, which is the lowest A of the pf

Ok, here is the score

Meanwhile, on paper, an extension is used that reaches up to middle C; but that's not the point.

The stops, the pedal coupler allow for doubling also at the octave above, which physically means expanding towards the central register and therefore having more singing margin. Not that it cannot be done below middle C... but it is quite limiting...

Elegant and refined

I don't know if you knew that....

Here I am on the Boganyi piano ...according to its creator, the piano with the "perfect" sound http://www.boganyi-piano.com/

I went to the website. I listened to the CD recorded by the same manufacturer. The sound is not bad, but honestly, it doesn't excite me that much.

Same opinion as mine, okay it has a nice sound but nothing amazing... that's why I wrote "according to its creator"
