Piano

So the picture is not the best but it will suffice. Last year for my 24Th birthday I got a piano. Since moving into my grandpa's house we finally had room to put one, so we got one. I was super excited. I looked at all different kind of pianos. New ones, used ones, baby grands, uprights, full grands. But none of them had the sound that I wanted until I found this one. I know this one is not the most fabulous looking piano out there but the sound is amazing! Ha ha it is like music to my ears. Just kidding, but it seriously does sound just like I wanted. Even out of tune. And I didn't pay a fortune for it. Phew.

I however, wanted a black piano and this one originally came brown. So I naively thought that we could refinish it. I WAS WRONG. Take my advice, DO NOT ever try to refinish a piano. And Brighton will agree with me. After taking the whole thing apart, taping the keys, and 10 weekends later I have the piano I have today.

It doesn't look fabulous but at least I don't feel bad or stressed about accidentally nicking it or dropping all of my piano books on it. I feel like it is my piano because I (aka Brighton) spent many hours painting it.

And for my birthday this year my mom got my piano tuned. They lady who tuned it said it has a rich sound and will hold its sound very well. Also, she said the piano should last me for a very long time and she actually offered to buy it. I couldn't tell if she was serious or not but I told her no.

So as for now here is my new piano, with a new fresh coat of paint, and newly tuned!

(On a side note, we are working on painting the front room where the piano is located and redecorating. Those posts to come.)
