lyme congregational church gives that old new england feeling
Lyme NH was the site of the next Poets of the Piano, in this 1813 church right in the town square across from the common and civil war memorial. the church is home to a fabulous Steinway A from the 1920’s in perfect condition. in fact the stiffness of the action led me to ask if it had been rebuilt, and the answer was no no no. all original.. while the center of the church aisle is carpeted we positioned the piano off to the side, on the wooden plank floor, and i’m telling you the sound was terrific. this piano responded to everything and of course the whisper test, playing as soft and even as possible. the A is about 6’2” in size.
