Free pianos

One of these days, I'm gonna take advantage of these ads I see
for "free upright piano, you move it" and learn to play it.
Before I die.
I'll find a way to do it and a place to put it.

I'm just glad this category finally has a post in it.
I was really disappointed Indigo Dave never bothered to post any
of his stuff here. Keys are his thing after all. ::)

My advice is to find a cheap Yamaha, Roland or Korg digital
piano with weighted hammer action. Older ones can be had for a 3
or 4 hundred dollars, in these parts at least.
Real pianos are a big pain in the ass, and imo, unless you're an
experienced player, not really worth the hassle. Not to mention
all of the room they take up.
However, free is free, I suppose. ;D

I hear ya. All I ever had in the way of keyboards was a couple
of Roland Junos. I had a ball with them, but I'm an even worse
keyboard player than I am a guitar player.

I'm a crappy pianist, myself. A couple years back I treated
myself to a fairly good quality Roland piano. I have way more
instrument than my ability warrants, but it sure is nice to
play. What the hell, life is short. ;D

All I have now is a very small Akai controller. I haven't even
plugged it in, in quite a while. All I have is the voices that
came with Sonar. It's fun for making a racket.
I think you're a lot better at keys than you let on. You toured
for many years playing keys didn't you?

I played keys back in the day, yes.
Doesn't mean I played them very well though. ;)
