Everything went smoothly! The piano is very nice, and the practice space was comfortable. Ezequiel was not there, but he arranged for a friend to meet me and show me the practice space. Communication was easy. I would return to use this practice space if I travel to Paris again.
Wow. What an amazing experience. The studio was perfect, cool quiet, an amazing space, really. The piano was....I mean; this Yamaha C2 has been prepped to within an inch of its life. Tuning, voicing, regulation......Yamaha pianos, especially the C series and CX series, usually sound great on the showroom floor, and then typically they get put in a bar or restaurant or school and then neglected, and they get brighter as the hammers harden, and never sound as good again.
This was the exception. This C2 played better than a new one. I was just at the Yamaha dealer in my home town playing brand new ones on the showroom floor - this piano played better than brand new ones from the CX series, and even the higher-end models. Which just shows that technician preparation and love given to a piano matters as much as the quality of the design of the instrument.
I have a piano at home, and I spend a lot of money and time with the technician maintaining it in good shape, but...all kudos to my technician - he has not worked on my piano as hard as whoever is working on this Yamaha C2 - I'm very impressed. The action was perfect, the sound was immaculate, the tonal consistency going across the keyboard and through the tenor break and elsewhere was about as good as I've heard.
I'm impressed, and inspired to encourage the technician I use to up his game (he's a great guy, but I'm still astonished at how good this piano was).
Ezequiel left a friend, Pierre to get me set up....they had a refrigerator with Coke Zeros in it, there was a teapot and tea, and coffee pods, an immaculately clean restroom. the temperature was cool and comfortable, and the rate was modest......what more could I ask for?

Vor 12 TagenHonestly one of the best practice studios I've found in Paris, and I've tried a lot of them.
The piano is the reason I keep coming back. It's a Yamaha C2, which sounds pretty ordinary on paper, but this one is something else. The touch is clean and crisp, really even across the whole keyboard, and the sound isn't bright or harsh like so many Yamahas in small rooms. I can play for hours without my ears getting tired, and I can actually hear what I'm doing. Every little change in dynamics comes through.
Turns out the owner is a professional musician himself, which explains a lot. You can tell the piano is looked after by someone who knows exactly what pianists need.
The room is clean and well organised, and all the practical stuff is covered: a clean toilet, a coffee machine, air conditioning (a lifesaver in summer) and even a fridge. Small things, but they make long sessions so much easier.
If you're tired of average practice pianos in Paris, give this place a try. You'll feel the difference in the first few minutes. I'll definitely be back!
