New piano was scheduled to be arrived by today. Made a photo, made a video about my old piano. Wanted to post about it, and 'ding dong' struck. Piano was here already.
I was in a shock, but had no choice to just tend to them first.
3 people came and they were doing it very quick. If it was a movie delivering a piano and the director wanted to just show it pictures by pictures, like a slideshow, then he/she can just use my photos I just take.

| Piano's here. Sitting in the lorry, waiting outside of a new home, like the bride waiting in the 轿子. | |

| Piano's in the home. Passing by the place where it was supposed to be, but it has a better home - my room! |
 |
| The piano was lifted - LIFTED- so easily by two movers. It's not touching the ground. |
 |
| And they are doing it while climbing on ladders. They can go to those TV show to perform already. Such insane power. |
 |
| Yes, it's true. The piano is not touching. They are indeed LIFTING it up. Now believe it. |
 |
| Finally, she reached where she should be, still sitting on the trolley though. |

| Sitting in the right place, with the right mate - an elegant adjustable bench. |
Yes, she's a Hailun. Hailun H-33P - the top-of-the-line model of the Hailun uprights.
With Hailun being one of the best Chinese piano makers, this is arguably one of the best upright model coming out from China. And hey, it's just about RM15k in Malaysia - with the comparable model, made by Yamaha and Kawai costing roughly RM40-50k - a three times difference.
Okay, it may be very well worth every penny, but how is the performance?
What? You are asking me about the performance of that piano? She's sitting in my home which means that she has passed numerous vigorous testing by me when she was still in the showroom. It is by no doubt a great piano - it's a beast, that is hard to tame, to be honest. If you are interested in getting a piano but are overwhelmed by the high price tag by the Japanese and feel cheated by the used one, take a look into the Chinese. They are making very good pianos now and this model, will probably be comparable or even better than the Yamaha U1 or Kawai K-3. And I am just being humble as I think it should be able to match the YUS or K8 - at least spec wise. LOL..
It's time to enjoy!
Will post another one about my old piano - also my path of music. Need to write this down first - so I will force myself to make that post.
