I'm off to pick up a kid client and see what he wants to do on this hot day. Will I be able to get him to shoot some hoops before we do something mellow? His parents say he spends too much time in front of the TV.
I'm secretly hoping he wants to go to Guitar Center, as we've done on some of our previous outings together. If we do, I'll spend some time in the guitar room and some in the electric piano room. There's a midi-based piano (also has organ and other sounds) there that I really like, and it costs only $500 or so.
Should I consider getting it? My "real" piano is in Atlanta GA and isn't much help to me here. I want to get back into piano, as it was my first instrument.

$500 does not sound like very much for a piano. Do you have some place to put it? You could write it off of your taxes if you use it for work, right?

@ElizabethWallace A part of my is too lazy. I'm not sure if it would make that much of a difference.

@TheHorse Look, if you took a little time to set up either a little ledger or a computer spreadsheet, it would be simple and save tons of money. Think about it.

I'll cross my fingers for you. We have an electronic piano keyboard at home but it is broken and we don't have the cash to get it repaired. The kids played it some. Our local music store has closed as well so it isn't convenient to find a place to have it repaired either. The local owner passed away.

@TheHorse He had converted his garage into a music store and was very passionate about music. It was easy to get a good price and he was terrific just to sit and chat with. He's very missed.

@koopharper His store came from a place of passion. I like that.

You are so versatile..amazing. In your shoes, I would have tried to have some music posts...give tunes to the poems and limericks that people come up here..and create a post..with that link. It could be fun..lol. Hope you get that time on piano, and hope your kid client enjoys composing some music..

I think you should get that piano. I don't play any musical instrument but I have other hobbies that I'm really into. And when i see something related to my hobby, I just know I should get it to make me happy.

If it feeds you, you might need to buy yourself that piano.

$500 sounds like a good deal to me. Of course, I know nothing about the value of instrument's.
