tried out a grand piano

<p>Today I plucked up the courage to walk into a piano showroom, and asked
if I could play on a particularly handsome grand piano.</p>
2020-07-07 03:17:50 +00:00
2023-02-13 06:35:00 +00:00
<p>“Yes, you can
try it out,” said the staff, and so I did.</p>
2020-07-07 03:17:50 +00:00
2023-02-13 06:35:00 +00:00
<p>First, I tried some
arpeggio(s). Then, a song from a contemporary movie.</p>
2020-07-07 03:17:50 +00:00
2023-02-13 06:35:00 +00:00
<p>It was a great
pleasure. The piano responded to my touch in a magical way,
demonstrating extraordinary sensitivity to even the most subtle of
nuances.</p>

<p>I looked at the staff of the showroom (a middle-aged and
confident lady), and it seemed she was enjoying the song, too.</p>
<p>I would
later enquire about the piano, and only two words remain in my memory:
“top-end” and “hand-made”. And, its logo says: Shigeru Kawai.</p>
<p>But all
too soon, it was time for me to leave (I have a limited repertoire), and
I bade my usual farewell to salespeople: “Ill think about buying it”.
(Which is true, I do think about how many years of slavery to a mean
boss I have to endure, in order to afford stuff like that).</p>
<p>But the
staff was quick to reassure me: “No obligations at all! Were happy you
came here to try our piano.”</p>
<p>Well, it was a nice experience, and I thank (a Biblical) God for that.</p>
