"...if i will get a only decent piano in my room i will be done."Hey Beppe, I "think" what you meant was a decent reproduction of the sound of a piano - or, maybe you meant a real piano! Either way, your comment reminded me of being back in music school. I knew a piano professor who bought a nine foot Steinway for his living room at home. His room was about the size of your room, or maybe a bit smaller!
Also, at the Institut de Hautes Etudes Musicales in Montreux, we had a Bosendorfer Imperial piano with the extra augmented fifth of keys - going down to the C below the A of a typical piano (97 keys instead of 88). I did some microphone comparisons of various instruments, including that piano. I still have the master tape, recorded on a Stellavox Sp7 at 15 ips 2-track. Unfortunately, it's on Ampex 407 tape, and being from 1974, it no doubt has sticky shed by now, so I'll have to bake it before playing it. I think I'll do that this Spring - my tape baking oven is feeling neglected!
