Always a beautiful day for a prelude...

This looks really, really painful.

Grand piano, ca. 1840 Érard & Co., London
It may simply be the distortion of the camera lens, but this Erard looks like it has a beautifully tall fallboard. The keys look rather plasticky, but I could be wrong about that.
Regulation probably isn't going to help.

And the sound engineers said: "You want perfect acoustics? Huh? Perfect acoustics? OK, here, here's yer perfect acoustics!"

This is so great, it almost doesn't matter what it does, that it's been retrofitted with such cleverness and generosity is superb.
Cathode-ray and player-piano piece is either 'a conservation dream or nightmare' says MoMA expert
One day I would play an arpeggio, or the Ab prelude, or something else to thrill my tactiles.
Saw this on CAKE's Facebook page today. Two loves: wood and drums. This is a Pearl drumset made entirely of wood...Wicked!

From last week. Please keep in mind that I've only had one lesson on the oboe, and couldn't make a sound out of it at that point, this is about two months later, when I wanted to try again. I have my instrumental lesson tmr, so I'm having another lesson. Yeee. I ended up (obv. not in the video) playing C, A, B and G very badly last week. Proud of myself. I made a noise out of it this time. -LilFlute

i was just scrolling through my notes app and found this gem and thought i would share it with whoever reads this :)
(i wrote this a couple years ago right before i went to audition for my high school’s musical lol)
i walk into the black box to look for a blue velcro lunch box, and i see a girl with light blue faded to to light pink hair sitting on one of the little bleacher things farthest from me. she looks up at me as i examine the room. i see another kid plucking the strings of a bass and another gone completely feral spinning around in a spinny chair and just going insane. his head appears to be tilted back along with his body, and he seems to be laying back in the chair. i spare a glance at the girl and she just looks at me, her eyes just slightly begging for help. i simply turn and casually (i hope) walk away, without looking back.
