David Krakauer's Klezmer Madness Live in Prague... "For me personally it is important to do two things in playing klezmer. One is to preserve the Jewishness - the inflection of the Yiddish language in the music (that I recognized in the speech inflections of my grandmother), the melodic shapes, the ornaments, the phrasing, the traditional repertoire, and the flavor of the cantor.

David Krakauer, the superstar clarinetist and a whole group of amazing Klezmer musicians, performing in Odessa.

Sorry for the poor audio, it does not show the true sound of this piano. In real life it is not all distorted and quiet. I still am shocked I only payed $50 for this piano. The guy was moving to Washington, and this could not come. He had totally restored it. Everything is almost new! Strings, dampers, felts, pins, keys, and it was refinished! I say it in the video. I have played a $61,000 steinway at the store, and I think my piano can out beat it for sound, and volume! It sure is better than the grand piano at my grandmas house! It needs tuning. But Im looking to do it myself.
