Musical instruments

I've heard that a grand piano is a must for those majoring in music, because an just just doesn't have the capabilities required to play certain pieces of music with the right technique. I was even-handed curious what my fellow musicians thought...

Yes and no.

No, a grand piano isn't totally necessary for a student pianist. A good upright is a fine practice instrument through a very high level of knack.

Yes, at some point, you will have to practice on a grand...

Exact for a really small concert.

I have a unequalled grand piano, but am downsizing my living space for a couple of years. I have a large storage space at the new place but it is not air conditioned and it is always very dry (no humidity at all) and sometimes very hot (up to 100...

I would look at the website: http://www.besbrodepianos.co.uk/pianoser ialnumber/chappel.htm
It states that your piano was manufactured between 1910 and 1920. Consumable luck.

I dearth to move a grand piano about 15 feet. It has wheels, but they will leave marks in the floor if the piano is rolled. Are there small dollies made for supporting piano legs?

Depends how far you need to move it, and over what obstacles. If you need to move it over stairs or between buildings, hire a piano moving company (your piano tuner can help find one for you).

If it's a shorter move, say, across the...
