With the way people move from place to place today, having a quarter ton object which cannot fit easily through doors is not as desirable.

The digital pianos can be switched to sound like any kind of piano, and many other instruments, and sound amazing, and weigh 20 lbs.

Unless it is a really good piano in good shape, it’s just not worth the hassle.

I don’t have a piano in the house. But my parents still have two of them in their house.

Boy, the way Glenn Miller played
songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us we had it made.
Those were the days.

Didn't need no welfare state.
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great
those were the days.

And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men.
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.

People seemed to be content.
Fifty dollars paid the rent.
Freaks were in a circus tent.
Those were the days.

Take a little Sunday spin.
Go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day
that cost you under a fin.

Hair was short and skirts were long.
Kate Smith really sold a song.
I just don't know what went wrong.
Those were the days.

Playing the piano is directly linked to literacy, math skills and reasoning ability.

All of which are of no use (indeed hinder) the Obamanation of America.

My uncle rescued a Steinway baby grand, with beer stains and all from an armory.

He refinished the piano himself in the black lacquer finish....he then hire a professional to take care of the guts.....It really is a magnificent piece...

My son plays. And plays well. A tradition continues. (Well, a tradition is born, really.)

I have my Mom’s piano. She needed more room, I gladly took the piano. It’s beautiful even when not being played. Memories of when I took lessons are nice too.

Bought my son a baby grand a few years back. Couldn't really afford it. Didn't really have room for it.

One of the best things I've ever done. He's ready to take over for "the Killer" when Jerry Lee plays his last note, (which is hopefully many, many years from now).

We have My Wifes upright Piano that was her Great Grandmothers. It came into Central Kansas on a wagon and we carried it to Texas on a trailer. it sits in the Front Grand hall of our old Craftsman home, looks quite nice there too.

I love to hear her play and she is teaching my daughters the art.

My Wife plays for our Church as well her Talent is truly a blessing.

This was news a generation or so ago. Sometime in the 70s or 80s pianos got a lot harder to find in living rooms.

I love being the contrarian.

When we built our last house, we specifically designed the layout for a room that hosts our Kawai Grand.
