For many years I've been itching to replace piano that I had.

But they are big, heavy, difficult to move.


Should I just buy a ukelele instead?

Or will the joy I get out of having a piano again outweigh any practical downsides?


(Provoked by leafing through Barbican music shop sheet music shelves...for piano.)

Daizie, did you know that there is an Organ Constructor's Society? It might be of interest if you have specific requirements? It is a society for those interested in building and/or customizing organs and similar electronic instruments.

I am reliably informed that the Society was founded in 1960 by the late Arthur le Boutillier in order to bring together enthusiasts who were building electronic organs from kits or to designs published in books and magazines.


Just a thought.

oh for goodness sake you could have just said it was an upright grand. How on earth did 5 of you sleep under it? Nevermind this is pointless...


Back on task - Louisiana go with the piano my dear - you can't beat deafening the neighbours with a good bit of Rachmaninov on a early Sunday morning :)) Either that or consider investing in a set of kettle drums ;-)

Neither!


If you want a piano but are concerned about the size and portability, get a Yamaha digital piano. They sound great and have a fairly realistic touch (although of course they look a bit ugly).


And I would go for a guitar instead of a ukulele. Much more versatile, much more music available... although it does lack the wacky comedy value.

You can put a digital plant pot on top, and play it on Saturday mornings after a cup of digital coffee and a slice of digital toast. It'll be just like the real thing.

    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder

    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
