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.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
