Favorite type of Piano Music: interesting rhythms, impressive counterpoint and melodramatic grandstanding draw me.
Been playing for: 9 years
Favorite Composer: Debussy! perhaps ravel and bach too.
What do you love about piano? its flexibility: it can pull off a diverse range of moods and sounds
What do you hate about piano? it's not really a problem with the piano, but more specifically of my genes. my fingers are rather short: an octave plus one key is the most i can manage. consequently playing pieces with huge chords is out of the question for me. to compensate i do a glissando thingy but it's not the same ):
Picture?: no pics but my piano's a Bohemia, it's czech. pianos here are mostly Yamahas, which have pedals placed at a smaller distance from the ground than most pianos. i'm so used to the disgustingly high pedals on my piano that when i play on other pianos i stomp the pedals by habit and the sound is screwed. ):

I have the exact same reach as you do. It becomes a problem pretty often :(

I grew up on a Yamaha, but now I have a czech piano (Petrov) and the high pedals drive me CRAZY! My ankels actually get sore from them.
