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.

"Oblong" ?


Did he bury her in it ?


That would be "Grand"



"You name it son & I'll play it" as it were wheeled "flameward" at the crem


We had a wake in a disused tram halfway up Dog Kennel Hill making a slide with all the spam sandwiches later


The cat ate her hat


I later married a "luncheon voucher" as was my duty

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.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
