Auerbach-Keller Restaurant (one of the restaurants we will be eating at)  Rheinhotel (one of the hotels we will be staying in)  Deutsches Museum (one of the museums we will be visiting)  Piano & Musical Tour - Europe 2011 Click Here Now! New SEARCH Function We have added a new Search box to Piano World and the Forums. The original search built into the UBB (forums software) is still available. But, because the ubb search is not very efficient (in the way it looks up requests) it tends to run very slow. It can also slow down the forums overall. For this reason we limited the built in search to a couple of years. However, the new search (provided by Google) includes everything with no time limit. I posted about the new search in a thread, still open for discussions and comments. New Search Function This does not replace the original search that comes with our UBB. In fact I expect the built in search to be much improved when version 8.0 of the ubb is finally released, hopefully sometime this fall. Concert Pianist Practicing at Home Our own concert pianist / forums member Jeffrey Biegel posted a few videos of himself practing the piano at home. It's fun to watch and listen to him in a relaxed setting, dressed casual and just enjoying himself. Jeffrey Biegel Practicing at Home Concerts & Competitions Sept.

This site (clearwebstats.com) shows a summary of traffic, pages indexed, etc., and approximates a value (not that I'd ever consider selling for their price). New PW Stats & Comparisons How Does XYZ Web Site Compare With... The site can show you web stats for just about any site you want. If you were thinking of advertising on Piano World, this is a good way to compare our stats with other piano/music related sites. Simply enter the url of the site you want to check (without the www) and check the stats. I don't think their valuations of sites is realistic, but the traffic and link numbers seem factual. Piano Parties! Piano Party in NY? NY Piano Party Come on folks, I remember when NY used to have lots of piano parties, both big and small. What is a Piano Forums Piano Party? Interesting and/or Fun Stuff Miscellaneous stuff that didn't exactly fit any other categories... Please note, any piano manufacturers or other businesses mentioned in this section did NOT pay for the mention, I just found the stuff interesting and wanted to share. OT: 10 Year Old Singer Wows Them All (Jackie Evencho) This one stirred up some comments as usually happens when the topic is an exceptionally talented but quite young musician. Jackie Evencho - what a voice A Cool Toy That Plays the Notes as you lay them on a table. As mentioned by Hugh Sung on Facebook... (note: this will take you to the engadget web site). Music Playing Table Piano & College Applications Interesting thread about applying to colleges, and including your piano/music background. Piano & College Applications For Jazz Players part of the description of this thread, taken from the opening post: "...this will be the Grad school thread where learning Jazzers at the Intermediate to Advanced Levels can ask questions, blog, learn, share ideas, post music, discuss more advanced Jazz concepts."
