Yes but not very well. A problem keeping the piano in tune at this time of year, change in temperature and particularly humidity affect it.Nice piano, do you play..?
Mk1's or Mk2's?My loudspeakers - Celestion 66 Studio Monitors - now over 40 years old and still not too bad. Piano is a John Broadwood & Sons cottage grand from c1870. And just a glance of my A2 through the window.

How do you manage to keep so cheerful skippy ..such positive energy ...my old mate ?With the potholes around today, that valve (or tube if you must!) would last around 1 minute before being rattled to death.
Especially in an A2 with it's 'characteristic' crashy ride!!
Doesn't say - I got them in 1974 I think.Mk1's or Mk2's?
The 12 albums nominated for the 2020 Mercury Prize were announced within the last week or so. The list can be seen here... https://www.mercuryprize.com/news/the-2020-hyundai-mercury-prize-albums-of-the-yearMost people here associate me with A2s, but outside my work on our little aluminium friends, I design and build recording studio audio systems. Here's an example of a studio I built in 2016...
For those who have some familiarity with such systems, this is a studio based around an SSL AWS948 Delta feeding UA Apollo interfaces. Outboard includes classic stuff like Neve, Avalon and UA mic amps, 1176 compressors, a Fairchild, a selection of Chandler dynamics, AMS FX and lots, lots more. Monitoring is done through Neumann near-fields and a pair of Genelecs like those used by Skipton in his broadcast audio system.
I wired up this studio from scratch. There's not a single purchased cable in the entire analogue system. To make it all work, I did approximately 25,000 solder joints (small wonder I now find myself battling musculoskeletal issues!).
