We have a piano!

Nov 21, 2007 15:00

Our new piano, a very nice Boston upright, arrived today, just in time for the Christmas season. :) It was a gift from Sophia's mom Kay. I've been playing it for an hour and a half straight now, and am finally giving it a rest. That's for the best anyway, really, because I was getting frustrated at myself not being able to just pick up right where I left off as far as adeptness goes. I can't remember really how long it's been since I had a piano in the house. Too long, I know for sure. It's funny in a way that music that I was able to play near flawlessly is not full of mistakes and sour notes. Oh yes, I've definitely been away from a piano for far too long.

I need to remember to get it tuned. I'll have to be doing frequently this year. It's important to get a new piano tuned every few months or so. That will enable the piano to eventually 'cure' to the environment in the room, resulting in that it will have to be tuned less frequently for the rest of its time here.

I'm so looking forward to filling this house with music. It's a release, I think, for musicians to sit down and just let that magic happen, performing for no one, just...playing.
