What's your dream musical instrument? - Page 2

Try playing on an Estonia piano. It is definitely better than a Steinway. I played on both of them. A few years ago I tried the Estomia. I was in awe on how it feels playing it and the sound is so good.

Listen to the video. Although it's better to hear it in person to really appreciate the sound quality.

Cool,man! Finally I have my own acoustic guitar since yesterday.

I would love to learn to play the piano so great I could play anything I feel inside myself, but I've never taken the time to learn.

Never too late to learn anything. In fact, I would like to get a banjo someday and learn how to play it. I can't bring my piano with me but I certainly could bring a banjo.

I always wanted to learn the blues harmonica.

In fact,one of the best players I've met was a hoh man who attended my junior
college in the 70's. He wore 2 behind-the-ear hearing aids.

Unlike other students,I never had any trouble bending notes. But I can't get my act together to play a good blues

Maybe one day!

An Electric Violin.

Koto or Taiko

Besides the Estonia, I'd like to have an old, upright player piano with the piano rolls. Not only do I get to play ragtime and early jazz pieces but the chance to see what technology of the day sounded like back then. My grandmother used to have one. Fascinating piece of (old) technology.

Think I will look for a used console or upright after the new house is built. Either that, or buy a stand and full electric keyboard with all keys. (my electric keyboard does not have the full keyboard)

All keys meaning all 88 keys?

Ah, I see. And how long have you been playing the piano? Any particular piece you like to play?

Started playing when I was 6 on a Rudolph Wurlitzer Console. I mostly played classical, religious and folk songs.

A Fender Rhodes, just for fun.

Nice. Have you kept up with the practicing and playing the piano since 6 years old? Or are you pretty much poking around on your piano at this point in your life?

Sold my piano about 14 years ago as I had nowhere to keep it and my brother was letting his daughter coat it with jelly and juice. I keep up here and there with the keyboard I have or "air piano". It's amazing how I can visualize the music in front of me and just play and hear it in my head, but not have any actual keys in front of me. While cooking dinner, I "played" Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. My mother was impressed as she saw what I was doing and following along with my hands realized what song I was "playing".
