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.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
