Piano issues arise when considering moving out of home...
After much thought and soul-searching and watching of youtube videos etc. I have reached a decision. I cannot move out without a piano. And if I buy a piano, it must be at least a baby grand, it must be black, it must be a Yamaha or at a stretch a Kawai, and it must have really amazing tone. And all three pedals - none of this corner-cutting two pedal nonsense. Its timbre must be bright, but not so bright that you can't get a mellow or mournful tone out of it. Its keys must be warm and inviting, and its frame must be made of iron. Its stool must be at the right height for me. It must have room for a lamp and also miscellaneous sheets and books of music. Preferably, the keys will be ivory, but since they don't manufacture pianos with ivory keys anymore and a second hand piano with all of this that is in good condition will be almost impossible to find, this is a negotiable point. The piano must be one with which I fall in love at first sight. It must have a friendly and amiable atmosphere about it. It must have a beautiful singing tone when a single note is suspended for a time. It must beg to be played at all hours of the day and night.
In short, I'm going to need at least another 15 grand on top of whatever I spend on a house. Fuck.
