I love the piano. There's nothing like the sound of a nice piano echoing through the house.
What did you get?
One of the things I would love to do when I get that ride in a time machine would be to go back and stick with piano lessons from when I was 5. I remember banging on that thing for like 5 years, then I never stuck with it. I ended up taking up the guitar.
Well, the guitar made me a living for about 20 years, so I can't complain, and the piano is what made me know what those little note thingys are, and time signatures and clefs and all those strange and wonderous things that a lot of guitar players don't read.
Excellent news Justam! You deserve it! :cool:

It's a grand (5'10'') and it has the most beautiful tone and double-escapement action (which is a fancy way of saying that the keys can be replayed without coming all the way up first) so it feels really good when you play something extra light or quick.
I have an old Victorian house in the city now. One room is big enough for a grand, and I would LOVE to have one but it'll never fit through the doorways! They built big houses in the 1880's but the doors were pretty skinny!
And I actually know what double-escapement action is!
What brand?
I'm a home inspector now. I check out houses for people, and it's physically impossible to walk by a grand piano in someone's house without plunking some tunes on it, so you as a player must be in total heaven!

They take the legs off when they move them into a house so unless the door is abnormally narrow, you can still get it in easier than an upright.
That's a beautiful piano! A Steinway.
Yup, I know the legs come off, but it's that turn from the hall to the front parlor and the lack of roometh thereof!
Yup,,,,,, I know how to buy a goofy house! I put my music studio on the third floor, too. Seems cool until you start hauling amps up the stairs,, but the view's great!
Well, Justam,,,Congratulations again, and I wish you many many years of happiness with your new grand! And I'm sure a lot of other people are going to be happy listening to it, too! :cool:

I think you put some pictures of your house up when you first bought it (at TAB maybe?) and I remember how lovely the mantel looked and the wood trim and floors.
I like that kind of house. I grew up in a Victorian in SF. They are so charming and worth the quirkiness!!
That's right, I DID put pics up! That's how I met VV from England, because she has one, too! Friends since! I even used some of her color suggestions.
I'm sitting by that fireplace right now!
Yeah, quirky it is, and that's what I like.
When the door sticks in the frame and you have to force yourself out of the bathroom, that's a FEATURE,,,,
NOT a problem!
Well, it's great to see you, Justam! Good night.
Time for my lullaby on the Boston!

congrats on the new toy.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
I am enjoying my new keyboard as a substitute, but I will get a piano someday. That is a nice one you have for sure.
I like to play Black and Long Road on piano.
