Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Names anyone?

This may sound odd but has anyone named their piano. Mine's Sir Henry the brave Yamaha. Anyone else name theirs???

I'm still trying names on for size. I think my piano's a man, because it's big and brawny.

Since I'm a Star Trek fan, my husband has suggested James T. (That's Captain Kirk's first name and initial, for the non-initiated.) I think I like it.

I was also considering Tiberius, which is what the T stands for. And it has that bold Roman emperor quality about it. But I think I'm leaning toward the casual insouciance of James T.

Yes. I usually call it "That :p

you do realize we're talking about pianos here. . .and not wives right? lmao

mine is completely unorignal. . .lol, i call her yama (from yamaha). it's a cool name though.
and begin laughing now:
i tell yama i love her before i goto bed each night.
lol. . .okay. . .please stop laughing at me now!!!!

thnx.

Mine is Yaway because it's the Yamaha that thinks it's s Steinway ;-)

"Yama" is Japanese for "mountain." And musical progress really IS like climbing a mountain, isn't it?

haha that's cool. i didn't know that, thanks for sharing.

My lovely Bechstein (well Bechstein Euterpe) is called Becky

Call mine Mas, dog's name is Mason too..

Samantha because my piano is definitely female, Sam for short, as in "Play it again, Sam."

i never officially named my piano i always just say i miss my baby. so i guess i named her baby. why is she a she, because she is gentle with me:) i dont know.

Mine is named - "She who must be obeyed..."

My wife? She's "Yes, dear, you're absolutely right.

No but I always smile when I look at mine.

My keyboards name is susan. Susan Suzuki to be exact.

Smart... Very smart... You've been married quite a long time?

Dear Debussy 20... Love the idea... To name your piano...Sounds very artistic to me as a retired decorator...Also amusing...Sandy B

I started off thinking I would name my piano Mary Elizabeth, after my mother. (It was her inheritance that enabled me to buy the piano.) But after I got the piano home, I soon became aware that it was definitely male. Then somebody here in the forum referred to my piano as the Pied Piper of Hamlin, and it was one of those "a-ha!" moments, because I realized at that moment that Piper was in fact my piano's true name.

I've named my piano "Yogurt" the Yamaha Clavinova. I've also named my car "Henry" the Honda. My girlfriend got me into naming everything. Our fridge has a name, too. Frederic.

Hawk

lmfao. . .your fridge?!? lol thanks for sharing. . .i needed a good laugh. :p

Never thought about naming really, interesting thought though

I think Maestro Otto would suit him well, seeing the piano mark is Otto Meister

But if i get a bosendorfer grand, it's a she defenitely
