Hi,
Beautiful playing!
A pleasant, atmospheric, character indeed very well suiting the visuals.
Thanks!

Thank you for the kind comments. btw, that old acoustic Bechstein in photos is dated pre WW II and belongs to my dad, who at age 79 still plays it and keeps learning new difficult pieces on it. His hands shake when he dishes out soup but he can steady them when he feels like tickling the ivories ;-)
About to grab the newer Pianoteq Bechstein model ie https://www.modartt.com/bechstein
I could not afford an acoustic I'd be happy with. If not for Pianoteq I would not be playing piano. The built-in sounds on DPs even up to several $1000 just don't it for me. And I also need something I can travel/gig with so even if I could afford a good acoustic it'd be of limited use for me.

Nice to have your dad still around and to hear him playing. My dad was not musical at all, but my grandpa played the piano with his big hands dancing around the keys, that was pure magic to me. For me, I have both a little acoustic Haegele grand piano and some virtual piano's, mostly playing the virtual piano's as also in a gig. Must say the Bechstein DG sounds pretty good to me.
Hope the smoke around in Australia will soon disappear, as the whole area burned down is already as big the Netherlands. Luckily its not so near to Melbourne,
Anyway good luck!
