Bravo gentlemen. You deserve every success.
Thank you so much!
As a long time Piano World forum user, thanks for bringing a deeper dive in Cunningham Piano. Congratulations for a fine career!! That passage about how music can heal the body really 'touched a nerve' in me.
Oh man, that is what it is all about in the end, isn't it? Thank you so much for your comment, jamielivingston2566. You made my day.

This is a great "interview". Terrific insights. Great background on Cunningham and Rich and Tim. Love the social philosophy of giving back. THIS IS REALLY GOOD STUFF. 😃 Looking forward to seeing the Nina interview with the mention of "you know who"
Mention of who??? 😂😂😂 Thank you Tom!
Hi, Rich and Hugh! Great to hear from both of you, along with some great stories. I love the Grotrian you restored for me, (that is now at St. Paul's) and the N1X that Nina sold me!
Jbondy! So good to "hear" from you and so glad you are enjoying BOTH of your pianos.

Just as an FYI --- Cunningham's has the best sounding & feeling Bosendorfers I have ever played.
Thank you brdwyguy!
Hugh Sung big question for you .. I have a Clavinova CVP 407 and I am looking for some tutorials that would help me learn the piano ~~ I love how you teach and I love your love for music if you can help me in any way please contact me .. thank you
Hi Jennifer - unfortunately the cvp-407 is different enough that you would have to explore the owner's manual. We don't have one here to re-acquaint ourselves with it. However, you can also trade it in on a CVP-805 or CVP-809. Then we can help. Call us at 800 394-1117 to talk about that.
You are so so kind for responding to me I am stuck I am afraid with what we have i have it in our church so we would not be doing much except using it for real time I am going to keep watching your videos they are so so good and for beginners I am getting some information out of them so thank you
