Fell in love with an electric grand piano today, was absolutely gorgeous. When I get my own apartment, it'll be a toss up which I buy first, Big TV or Piano...

It was £1,500, and was gorgeous.

A real grand is gorgeous. Only then does it deserve the word

Show me a picture, I may be swayed.

From this range:

Go to CLP Grands. I'd love one of their grands, but will probably end up with one of their Clavinova range. Still gorgeous though

Well, at least you're headed in the right direction. Clavinovas are great. Especially for the price..

My school has an electric grand in our chapel. The only time I've ever used it was to tune my guitar to something. I'm not much of a pianist, but it sounds like a pretty convincing grand to me. Still has a bit of a synthesized sound, but definitely sounds more like a grand than an upright.

There's nothing like playing on a 9ft grand though. Oh man.. it's amazing..

When I played their grand, a little part of me died when I knew I couldn't take it home

<CC will not point out she is a flautist>

Anyways, one of the guys in the violin section is cute. And Doc puts the violins beside the flutes, so I am happy.

That must be a very strange seating arrangement. Where are the violas? Behind the percussion?

Viola's are a pretty instrument.. I don't get all the jokes

But then again.. that would mean I don't get them about trombones either. The ones about drummers I totally understand

Mr Drummer gets bored of people cracking jokes at him all the time, and decides to prove that he's a real musician. Takes lesson in as many different types of instruments that he can. Decides if he's going to do it properly he should buy all the instruments he's going to learn. Walks in to a shop, up to the counter and says:

"Good day sir, I'd like to buy a piano, saxophone, violin, flute, lute, guitar (bass and acoustic), trumpet, trombone and a triangle please"

The shop worker looks at him for a second, looks him up and down and replies:

"You're a drummer aren't you sir?"

The drummer looks dumbfounded and asks:

"How the hell did you know that?"

"This is a fish and chip shop, sir"

-Pufer

Behind the violins. Percussion's off to the right. We're not wonderful with brass, we've only got two trombones, but we're ok with everything else.
We're pretty small for an orchestra. We're pretty small for a band, actually. It's all really informal, but it sucks a bit because the trombones sit right behind me and I can't hear myself think.
