pianos sounded miserable really, don't waste your money on this
Keep using the music when you garden 💜💜💜
Another interesting (in a good way) video! If it was my choice, I’d go with the second piano. Both are seem like they would work for the grand salon, for some reason the scoundrel option is better. I agree with the other comments, please wear appropriate footwear while doing yard work! Although, I’ve noticed other people doing projects on KZread in the bare feet! Looks like an injury waiting to happen.
The wedding vase is a unique, thoughtful gift.
In case anyone else was curious about the music in the background during the bush trimming segment. It's Barbara's Rhubarb Bar (Barbaras Rhabarberbar), a German and Dutch tougue twister that gave rise to a popular novelty song. The tongue twister is based on repetition of the sound "bar", and celebrates a well-liked seasonal dessert. A German music video of the song, created in late 2023, became an internet phenomenon, getting over 47 million views on TikTok within a few months. That's according to Wikipedia.
I would have liked to see the keys on the second piano (1600). I preferred the color of the wood on the second one. The first piano seemed so dark, albeit it could have been the room lighting. My vote goes to the second piano.
I like the third one. I have no musical ability but feel the colour of that piano would suit the room best.
Of course you will love having a piano! My oldest and some of his friends play, have listened to a bunch of them singing a few times the last couple hours! Just so fun when everyone breaks out in song like some musical - as you know. ❤😊
The burled walnut piano was gorgeous, so I can see why he decided to keep it! The second piano had a tinny sound. The third piano for 1600 had a much richer, deeper, fuller sound, and that's the one I'd pick, as long as it is tunable. You've got to be soooo careful with old pianos. You might want to look into a Roland digital piano. One of the big advantages is that if someone wants to do a lot of repetitive practicing on a digital piano, they can just plug their headphones into it and no one else can hear it. Do you definitely want a grand piano? A half grand or baby grand could serve you well too.
A shame about the first piano; it was beautiful. The first of the 2 pianos you had been sent videos of, ( the darker one) had a lovely depth of sound, as well as a mellow tone. The best depth of tone of all 3 piano's. And how could you go wrong for £500 euros? ....I'd snap it up!!! It seemed a much better quality all together inclusive of the wood. ( which I think contributed greatly to the mellow depth of the sound) The second one was tinny sounding to me, and the veneer seemed a little cheap looking.
The 3 rd piano sounded the best!😊❤
Please have them do an hour of work a day since they are only studying for 4 hours. It almost seems wrong not to. what are there, 18 students? That would be 18 hours of work toward upkeep and improvements of the grounds and they could learn new skills. they could look back and see things they worked on and remember their Investment. Seems like a win win win win. You would just need a good project management Plan before they arrived and I'd be happy to help with that if I could from afar and eventually from close by!🫠 it could help you model a balance of work and rest, too. The thought of the two of you working 12 or 14 hour days so that students can study for 4 hours and then play for 8 hours seems a bit off. I know you do have a bent toward proving to people that you're working hard but some of us want to see you working a balanced life and this would be a great solution! No spirit of criticism here just a heart of concern for the long game.
Can't wait to see which piano you chose. I am not a big fan of burl wood. Glad you have some time off to catch up.
Be careful when you buy a piano. You need to do that in person. You need to make sure the bridge is not broken. If so you can't fix the piano. It can't be tuned. You also need to let it stand for at least a month before its tuned. Also keep it away from direct sunlight or water.

3rd piano
I liked the first of the 2, it looked more French.
Sad about the Walnut Piano , So i am guessing the first one is older ,then the last one ? as u can hear when the finger hit the keys but at 500 e i loved that one as it has more character the colour was lovely , love the keys too . BUT the last one sounded really good too but noticed 2 keys not really making much sound which ever one u pick it work .
That is a beautiful walnut burl
The first piano sounded very old and grim! The second sounded wonderful.
Great video 👍 Give the students a job for the chaute see about getting a few automatic mowers then get a tech student to hack a mower and add a vinegar sprayer and flame thrower 😊
You are so awesome! Great video. Loved it all. I have been looking at Workaway for my stay in France. Thought of you guys as I scrolled through all the chateaux who have numerous listings of help needed from garden maintenance, helping with events and major DIY. I'm going to see if any want a ghostwriter to help with fundraising. Never know, you might find the perfect match to help take the load off. A divine appointment of sorts. Sending prayers and blessings on you and all you put your hands to.
Regarding the Broadwood piano, Beethoven had one he liked and Chopin reportedly also liked them although he preferred the French Pleyel brand. I play the piano and have run my fingers over the ivories on quite a few older pianos in my time. In my experience, the sounding boards of very old pianos often are deteriorated producing inferior tone. Of the two you were looking at, piano #2 by far had the best tone. The Broadwood was beautiful but I wasn't impressed with the tone. It sounded like an old piano past it's prime even though the case was beautiful. I'm really glad you're finally to a place where you can get one. I have thought you needed a piano there at the chateau for a long time. A chateau without a piano is a betrayal of Western Civilization!

One of the other vlogs bought a used clothes press for the linens. It would be worth it with as much ironing as you have.
Queens Escape bought the clothes press
The second piano is pretty but so out of two! I do love the first clip
Enjoyed from Texas! Especially the work boots 🥾 you scared me in your flip flops and the flamethrower 😮
Piano B. Hands down.
I liked the tone of the second piano over the tone of the first one. Even though they both needed tuning, the second piano sounded brighter than the first. I think even though the second is pricier, you will be happier with the sound. I enjoy your videos so much and what you are doing with your mission with the students.
❤❤❤
My daughter & her husband just bought a mahogany baby grand from marketplace. Seller had jt tuned & delivered it! They are so excited to finally get it. My son in law plays the piano & the whole atmosphere of the household has changed due to the beautiful music playing.
I definitely vote for the students helping. Part of the learning process is appreciating just HOW MUCH goes into providing their chateau experience. They'll be more careful with the place too if they help. Oh, and Rob, you look great in that navy colored shirt!
I like the second one.
Thank goodness you’re finally wearing the right boots to protect your feet!!!
First is an 1910-20’s Erard. Second a circa 1880’s. If you need any help finding a good one, I can help. Out of tune can mean it can’t be tuned and then there are big costs. (its basically like a car, so many things that can be wrong that you don’t see as an inexperienced person)
The first piano was not the one..The second piano sounded so much better..Thank you to the very kind viewers who purchased the pole hedge clippers for Rob..The chateau looks just beautiful while your working..Can't wait to see piano #2 next week and hear you play ! Leslie.. great to see you again after such a full and busy term and nonstop cooking. So glad you had full time help,what a great place to volunteer! Have a wonderful week!
I just gifted my upright to retired missionaries. Cost $400 to move it.
HOpe you guys got piano. You play well. The chateau looks beautiful. Blessings.
Funny that he played an Abba song!
Well....empty nesters for 5 minutes....enjoy!! I am so glad that you didn't take the first piano....it just didn't feel or look right for you. Personally, I liked the one for 1600.....loved the colour, look and sound. It appears to be in better condition than the 500. Great video....thank you and have a wonderful blessed week! 🇨🇦
Thanks for the great video 🇨🇦
Excellent!!
Hello, ok.. for the piano I would have to say go for the first one piano if the cost of getting it tuned is not much, ❤️🇨🇦yet... Another wonderful episode. 🙏🇫🇷.... I wonder what the German music is all about bro.😂
The $1600 euro one has a mellower tone and is more attractive.
Doing chores is a great idea. Growing up, my sisters always helped out. My parents thought it was important to contribute to the family, no matter how old you were.
That is the most beautiful piano I’ve ever seen in my entire life!❤
If you are not laughing at the time lapse music, do you have a sense of humor?😂😂😂
Enjoy every bit of your content. I hope a wonderful piano finds its way to your chateau.
Not fond of the German music
Which one? The first panel or the second?
