Grand or upright?

We didn't just stick it in the back of a pickup truck, we hired professional piano movers.

It's a 1930s vintage Knabe six foot grand.

I know, but isn't the cold and humid weather bad for the tuning, etc.?

I didn't think you threw it on the back of the e-bike.

The movers wrapped it up in insulated blankets. :)

Grand pianos get the legs removed and are set on their sides for moving, so they need post-move tuning regardless of the weather.

Imagine meeting that person on a date in the summer and not finding out she was "different" until winter.

Actually, she would show her whole cards long before then. There's only so long you can conceal that level of . . . deviation.

Seems quasi-northerners aren't the only people who have trouble on the ice.

Correct. Mrs. rjones28 will acquire an upright to replace it.

datlas 01-07-22 12:18 PM

We have an old upright that my folks bought in the early 1960's. We hope musical daughter #1 will take it off our hands once she settles down somewhere. Neither mrs datlas nor I can play.

genejockey 01-07-22 12:50 PM

I just walked out of my office and almost all the way to the restroom without masking. Then I remembered and went back for it. Fortunately, I didn't encounter anyone, because as head of a group, I'm supposed to set a good example. :rolleyes:

Raise your hands if you can play the piano.

I'm fairly proficient on the cowbell.

I can read music and find the notes. Can't play anything beyond easy difficulty at speed.

Took piano lessons for maybe two or three years when I was a ute. Keep my general music-reading skills sharp in community band, obviously.

Seems you were replacing a fence just about the time I came onboard. Worn out already?

Same. But a very long time has passed since I've done it.
I actually played trumpet in high school band. They tried to push me into cornet but I stood firm.

But can you play the piano with your hands raised?

Extra value is what you get, when you play coronet.

I took lessons during my first year of college as a music major since it was required. Have long forgotten more than I ever learned, but can likewise read music and find the keys (maybe).

Oh?

Which instrument? Or was it voice?

our finances are not in a way that I could do this. Also the guys house is literally right next door.

I took piano lessons for short time when I was young, but didn't stick with it. In my later teenage years, I fooled around with a guitar for a while, but was just a bedroom hack. When I took a break from cycling in '04, I got more serious about playing the guitar, but at the suggestion of a friend, picked up playing bass and put some work into getting decent. That lead to playing in a couple of local bands for a few years, and well as doing a little recording. I don't play much any more, however.
