I bet you sold a lot of pianos. I'm with funburger; I like that "easy" button. But the most impressive part was how nice the song sounded with the chords and flute sound added to it. Very cool!

That was fun!
Or should I say, That as EASY!!!
Reminds me just how easy it was to teach organ (or sell organs). All that background stuff made everyone sound good from the beginning. Anyone remember Baldwin Fun Machines? Those sold so easily at the fairs.
For quite a few years I taught at Baldwin Piano and Organ. All new organ owners got 4 comp lessons. First lesson was very much like what you made a video tape of. 2nd was exploring the organ settings and pedals. Etc. Most all students continued with lessons. ;-)
BTW, I always taught songs by finger numbers in the 5 finger position for piano too. Could make several songs up easily. First RH, then LH, then mixed. The one difference was instead of R, I would use - for Hold, 1 - - - is 4 beats (whole note). Oh, and also used the flat tire example, but used sitting on a SHARP tack would make you get UP fast!
Good job Trucker. LL
