Thinking, thinking
So all day, I’ve been thinking about this piano thing.
Do I get one? Do I not? If I get one, will I play it enough to make it worthwhile?
The more I think about it, the more I want one. I mean, I have more free time now than I’ve ever had, so I feel like I have the time to sit down and actually play.
Eri and I are going shopping on the 21st after the school’s event, because I’m thinking of getting a bed and I need table and chairs. The place we’re going to has an online shopping thing, so I was looking through there and I found a decent digital piano or about $750 CDN including delivery. Unfortunately, it doesn’t explictly list if that includes the bench or not, but it does seem to include the stand and the music stand.
It’s touch sensitive and it has three levels of sensitivity that you can set it to (and a fourth, if you include no touch sensitivity a level). It has all three pedals, and “grand piano sound” (versus electric piano or something like that).
It sounds pretty good… and I’m leaning towards it. I’ll have to see if they have any at the store when we go, so I can try it out. My mum said that if I did get one, she would send me my books (not all of them, obviously, but the ones I’d play out of), so yes…
I think you should get the piano. $750 for a decent electric piano is pretty worth it, considering a regular basic piano will be thousands of dollars. The question is, if you were to move sometime in the next couple of years, would you be able to pack it up and take it with you, or is it like an actual piano and has to be moved with a specific piano mover company? Can it be shipped?
If you decide to get the piano, I can probably bring all your books with me, and it’ll save you and your parents a lot of shipping costs. I’m really only going to bring one luggage of my own things and pack the other luggage with all the stuff you want me to bring for you.
