I love dedicating a space for music. I RARELY formally entertain/dine ā¦ so why is this big table in the middle of the room with my piano squeezed in the back corner? No more!! Here is the āmusic roomā with a dining table in the back corner.
Of course Silver Sam the Handsome Man believes it was arranged for his benefitā¦
Lori thatās a beautiful place to study and indulge in the piano and it makes me happy to see the PianoGroove scores on your music ledger!
I see you play the Ukeā¦ have you seen this video? Extraordinary talent.
Loving the cat on top too 
Itās funny, a while ago I was thinking that it would be nice for people to share their setup, acoustic, electronic or whatever. So maybe students could discuss the best instruments to buy, for example if some one was looking for a new keyboard.
Mine is constantly changing because I travel around a fair amount. Iām looking forward to getting a dedicated music room when I buy a house.
But hereās some shots of my work environments:
My Roland RD 700 NX in Manchester ā¦ I love this keyboard, it has such a delicate touch and the matte effect on the black keys is very nice.
Another Roland RD that I used in Seattle for a few months:
And one dayā¦ If I can find a house with a room big enough to fit in this beautiful instrument the steinway model D: Concert Grand Piano - Model D | Steinway & Sons - Steinway & Sons . The sound is so beautifully rich and warm, unlike any other piano I have played.

This is a piano I owned when we lived in Texas. Itās a Bosendorfer Imperial Grand. Sold it shortly after we moved out here to Arizona because we didnāt really have the space for it, and people kept expecting me to know how to play it.

The āman caveā looks great Markā¦ that view must be awesome for inspiration!
I always love to have my keyboard close to a window, ideally with a very spacious view like you have there, but that isnāt always possible.
This is where Iām currently working:
I prefer your āman caveā
Thatās a great set up you have there with the computer mounted on the wallā¦ I bet thatās really nice to work with iRealProā¦ as you can see with my setup, the laptop is on my side and so I have to bend to stop/start, change tune etcā¦ which can be a pain. If the screen is in front of you, it would be easier to check where you are in the form too.
But try not to look at the screen religiously, you want to be āfeeling the formā and maybe occasionally glance to make sure you are where you thought you are if that makes sense.
And wow! Your Bosendorfer is impressive! I played on one in Manchester a few years backā¦ in a really nice store called āForsythsā on Deansgate - the second floor is the piano show room and they always have a great selection of grand pianosā¦ I usually pop inside when iām passing to play a few songs.
I can see why people would expect thatā¦ it extends an extra octave or so in the bass register and itās a true concert piano!
Cheers.
