My Passion for Pianos
Piano Legs is a place to celebrate the beauty and craftsmanship of the world's greatest pianos. My love for these instruments is rooted in the unforgettable music from the late 1960s to the '70s, a time when grand pianos shaped rock and pop. Let's share this passion with fellow enthusiasts and musicians alike.
Why Piano Legs?
My love for music began in the late 1960s, listening to what I still consider the best era of popular music. The 1970s in particular were a golden age for piano-driven rock and pop, with artists like Elton John, Billy Joel, The Beatles, The Eagles, Supertramp, and Carole King creating some of the most iconic piano moments in recorded history. The studio recordings of that time captured the warmth, depth, and power of grand pianos like no other.
Though I had been absorbing this incredible music for years, I didn’t take up the piano myself until 1980. My early lessons introduced me to classical music, where I discovered the precision, emotion, and storytelling power of composers like Beethoven, Chopin, and Debussy. Classical piano training gave me a deep respect for the craftsmanship and sound quality of different pianos, and it wasn’t long before I started exploring what makes a truly great piano.
