Treble Clef and Bass Clef

I own two pianos, one digital and the other a upright piano. Although many say I should be grateful that have the best of two worlds, sadly, I'm not... The upright piano is an antique circa 1920s. It's a priceless antique where no one would want to buy. The mechanism inside the piano is too rusty to fix, and replacing all those mechanism would cost more than a thousand bucks. Well, you can't fix it nor throw it out because its an antique.

Then, there's my trusty o' digital Piano of 15 years. The technology is so outdated that it still uses Floppy Disk and Midi Sounds. Recently, I went to this Piano Fair in KLCC, the newest generation of Digital Piano has a USB Drive where you can load your piano scores into the LCD screen. You can even compose your own song by just playing it on the piano and it automatically produce the piano score on to the screen...! Pretty cool, huh ? Technology is great but Digital Pianos aren't really pratical. It destroys the "natural" feeling of playing the piano. The sounds are digitally produced by a software..



I love both of my pianos, I have great memories with them. I want a normal upright piano, but I don't have the heart to change either of my old pianos. I can't have three pianos in my house either.



Geee.......
