    Wow, awesome, love how you play. I am so fortunate to have this exact piano I found at an estate sale, believe it or not for only $30, I have been wanting one for a long time. So happy the piano I found is a good one!! Thanks for the review.

    My Acrosonic is a 1978 walnut 951. Its action is different than the one on yours. Thanks for helping me learn about this stuff. You sound great.

    I just learned what I have. :). It's a 1954 Acrosonic. The keyboard is beautiful! I'm selling, no one plays it anymore. I was really surprised to learn the history and quality, and yes, it does sound awesome! Esp yours!!

    Somewhere over the rainbow was beautiful 😭!!!! I used to play as a kid and have started to look into getting a piano. So many ppl just giving away their pianos .... at any rate, any chance you can share where I might be able to find the music sheets for that version you played? Thanks for doing this review and passing on your knowledge.

    Hi Mr Nicholson. I have a question. We had a piano tuning a week ago, and the person who did tuning, he was not able to instal back the top from the piano. He tuned piano very well, but had a hard time to instal top part back. We have a acrosonic piano Baldwin , exactly the same like on your video. Can you please send us a picture of side part. So we can see how to install it back . Thanks .

  • @onemoremisfit
    @onemoremisfit 3 года назад +1

    Thank you , thank you Mr. Nicholson. Loved your video. I came across an Acrosonic yesterday at an estate sale. I fell in love with it , mohogany & great shape. Played it for a little but will not sure about it. I have right now an Essex 2005 but an very tempted to get this Acrosonic. Years ago I had a spinet that I learned to play on and loved that piano. Sorry I donated it.
    Give me your thoughts. Thanks

    Much prefer this to the 1990, and now I know that if I have a problem with mine, the problem is me, not the piano (okay, there are a couple of sticky keys, but otherwise no). It reminds me of my '88 Volvo wagon. It ain't fancy, or pretty, but it's real good, and it will survive the apocalypse. The '90 sounds deadened somehow, kind of flat and muffled. I like the brightness here.

    Wow!! Piano is nice ( are spinets in general this nice sounding or perhaps Baldwin Acrosonic only?) I have watched a couple of youtube presentations about spinets and they are changing/improving my attitude toward spinets), but that playing!!

    You are awesome player but you sure made the arthritis in my left wrist hurt when you kept going through that last octave without moving your body in the chromatic scale at the beginning. ;-) You related to stretch armstrong by any chance?

      LICvintage That’s actually my own improvisation I made that song out myself on the fly

  • @TrippingTheTube
    @TrippingTheTube 4 года назад +1

    So I take it you are not against Spinets? Different feel than an upright? I'm asking because I was thinking of getting one but just saw a video where they a lot are very cheaply made and feel a lot different in the action. Wonderful playing!

    • @gregger59
      @gregger59 4 года назад +2

      Keep doing research, you will find that the Acrosonic is one of the most highly regarded spinets and has a real following, especially these midcentury ones which have a wonderful tone. These had very good quality materials and construction and were built to last. The fact that a piano player like Kris can play the hell out of it and keep loving the sound speaks volumes to me.

    • @BluegillGreg
      @BluegillGreg 3 года назад +2

      Acrosonics have a different & better action than other spinets. They also have a good soundboard.

    Hello Kris, i wanted to ask you, if this is the same as an Acrosonic 1961. I'm going to buy one, and in the pictures they are the same as yours. I don't know if there is a difference for the year. And another thing, the keys are kind of dry. How can i fix them? The price around 900 dls. is it worth it? The machine and mechanic is really in a great shape. Like new! Just this details about the keys, and to know if there is a difference in the years. But it does, the sound it is great!
