A new piano!

Yesterday I took possession of a brand new, second-hand piano. No, it’s not a Steinway but it’s still the best piano I’ve ever, ever had and I’m so happy. I did try to convince Ben that if we sold the house we could buy the Steinway but sadly, he was not to be persuaded. He’s cruel and insensitive.

Ben took some videos of me playing the new contraption this morning but instead of a sharing a wonderful rendition of Mozart now I really just have bloopers since I always seem to hit the wrong notes and then swear. But I think there’s entertainment value in watching people blunder. Just be warned: there’s swearing in the following videos.

  Yes, why does that happen? One mistake and there’s no going back.

Well done 😂 The expletives simply add colour to the piece. Keep it up.

  Good to know the expletives add to the performance because I’m sure there’ll be more.

I like your piano, it has a nice tone, lively, not tinny and dull that you hear sometimes. Good find 🙂 And I’m a little bit envious… I want one too! If you buy the Steinway, you can sell me that one 😀
