Just needed to be heard for a little while

Lol, I feel like your pedals.

Talking of tone, i was in a school hall a couple of months ago, heard the upright piano being played and thought, " What a lovely tone! I wonder if it's a Knight?" And when I went to look, it was!

If I had room for a baby grand, (and the cash!), I'd have a Broadwood. Do you know, they're still made in Britain!

Its not what I'll be getting but....my dream piano, the only big name piano I actually fell in love with is a fazioli, I played it in a private house and was just in love with it. As soon as I saw it I itched to play for playing sake, and I haven't been like that since I was a teen, the thing was magnetic. Normally I'm a bit weird about 'nice pianos'. Where I learned there were 'very special' pianos and the one in the performance space was meant to be very particularly good and I just didn't love it. It felt 'self important' to me. I like pianos I like not that I should like. Apart from that one.

Is it sad that I can't even play the piano but have always wanted one just because I believe that they look beautiful?

Not sad at all, you can still pootle around on it.. One fingered plinking would be about my limit at the moment. Grandma used to use hers to keep her letters under the lid so she didn't lose them so at least it got used, if not in the intended manner..

Oh, I think it struck a chord with some people of major importance!

Better go Bach to basics.

Never too late to learn. A few people take up instruments in retirement.
