Just for fun, I was just wondering what your piano would say to you (or others) if it could talk.

You see, my piano can't talk, but it does give me funny looks all the time! I know that when I started playing 2 years ago, if it could talk, it would probably just say "you suck"!! , but it, (the piano) also appreciates all the time I have spent trying to figure out how to play it and now and then seems to reward me with beautiful sounds.

I have come to realize that when I treat my piano crappy by banging on the keys, playing lots of mistakes without going back and fixing them, or just not respecting what this instrument is capable of doing, it will respond like crap back to me as well.

Sometimes, when I play late at night and am very tired, I will play my piano with very gentle key strokes and just be amazed at what incredible sounds it is cabable of producing!

I can even hit just one single deep bass note and it will Purr back at me like a lion satisfied after eating a big meal.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that my nice piano CAN talk to me (and often does), but no actual words are spoken or even needed.

Its just amazing how well they can respond to your input when done correctly; like it actually does like to be pet....I mean played!!

Some days it may say, "give me a break". Although other times it may accuse me of neglect.

SLOW DOWN!
Oh yah, beat Kathleen in practice time

You are sssooooo funny, DeBussy20. :rolleyes:

My poor piano has been getting a real workout the past 8 months. Before that, I virutally ignored him for many years.

I think he is very pleased to be putting music in the air once again. What he thinks of my playing is another story. :p

My "keyboard" speaks japanese, but I think it says "how come you make the mistake and I get beaten?"

Sarcasm does not suite you, Kathleen
you might as well write limericks for a living then become a professional sarcaster!

I would guess that my home piano would say, "I love it when you run your fingers through my keys...come over here and give me a little lovin'" My studio piano would say, "Those kids are too hard on me...trying to lift up my delicate keys, kicking my lustrous front under the bench...and those dirty fingers! Ugh! Why don't you get rid of them?"

I am very attached to my pianos, I want to buy a grand and sell my beloved 100 year old upright...I just cringe thinking about saying goodbye to the old gal. Maybe I'll hang onto it and have 3 pianos.

Let's see, you named your pianos and now they talk to you. I'm beginning to worry about you folks...

Mine giggles, laughs, and sometimes cries the blues... Most often, when I touch her, she smiles.


And so do I.

She says:"I know you love me, but I can sound much better if you could ask some skillful pianists to play on me. You... some keys you may never have chances to touch."
Do I should sell her? :p

Mine says ''Ouch..quit it''

Peter

My piano would say, "oh my how I love the way you touch me. I love how gentle you glide your fingers, but when you want a reponse you agressively touch me so I cound respond in the same way". It would also say, "common, you don't have to be so gentle you can stroke me hard".

I know this sounds kind of porno, but I don't mean it that way...

Mine would say..."AH HA!!! I KEEP WINNING!!!"

Mine would say...

"Don't quit your day job"

Mine laughs in my face as I hopelessly try to master it.

My piano here at assisted living would say," I enjoy your playing Sandy ...but... please send me a younger, pretty blonde, pianist to play me sometimes..." Sandy B.

I hear mine screaming saying: "OH MY GOD...someone rescue me....PLEASE.....hurry, get me out of here...the noise this guy creates on me is destroying me......HELP HELP HELP...."

sigh.....most of y'all seem to have much nicer pianos

Right now mine is practically sobbing, "Tune me, you heartless creep!"

I'm waiting for the rainy season to end, otherwise I'll just have to tune it again in about 2 months' time.

This thread reminds me of that rather disturbing Andre Segovia quotation, "The piano is a monster that screams when you touch its teeth."

...hmmm...think I'll put that in my signature line for a while...

I can't make out precisely what my piano is saying, but it's something to the effect of "why couldn't I have been bought by somebody who can play worth a damn?"

Mine just screamed "Quick, somebody, PULL the plug" (It's a digital)

Something to the extent of:

"Stop bumming around and PRACTICE!"

--c5

"Dust me!" I never notice how dusty it is until I start practicing, and then I'm too involved to do much about it. By the time practice is over, I've forgotten about the dust...until next time.

And the cycle continues!

OIOIOOOIIIIOIOOOIIIOIOOOOIOIOIOOIOOOIOIIIIOIOIIIOIOIIOIOIOOIIIOIOOO
(I have a digital piano...)

It depends. Often it is "Why doesnt he play me?". But when I do, she says "GET A TEACHER!".

"You're playing THAT song AGAIN[/b]?"

I like the monster analogy

I read once that sarcasm is a form of unexpressed anger. But I dispute this theory. I'm not mad about anything.

Well, maybe just a bit frustrated at my lack of piano skills.

It's all meant in fun, you know that.

Kathleen

My digital would say I love you and my acoustic would say the same. They want to give me the best sounds they can - silly answer..... They know the music I am capable of making that is in my heart and soul... I just have to get better (more practice)... And when I do, they will not fail me. Cute thread, S-H. I do know for a fact (in my mind) that the acoustic is happy, but sadly needs a tuning... which I will get around to do in the next few months. That's about it!

:D

Mine says I miss you and will you pay attention to some of the other keys every once in a while.

go buy a house so we can rock the house all night long, rock the house, rock the house baby, rock the house.

seriously i love to play at night and its better at night, but some neighbors like to sleep, THE NERVE!!!!
