Piano is like really addictive. I can play for hours without noticing that my arms hurt and I'm tired. It only strikes when I've actually stopped.

[@bomorman23]

When I play the piano I can’t stop playing it and it’s an addiction for me

I reckon that being able to play piano is one of the abilities that mostly impress non players, not that it should be the focus of one's mission, but hey, we are on this planet for just a bit of time and to create beauty by simply using two hands is rather astonishing, isnt it?

[@dornelli1]

this couple and the settings, piano, lights and, of course, music, are all perfect

[@dornelli1]

even if I couldn't play, i would still like to possess a piano in my home because of the impression it causes on my eyes as I enter it, like a sculpture or a vintage classic car, because a full classic piano is an object of both passion and desire

Piano is damned hard

I'm 33 and I've played guitar for nearly 18 years
Recently got into home studio recording and now I see that I desperately need to learn piano basics. But in keeping with true Rock guitar tradition: To hell with sheet music. I just need somebody to sell me an affordable MIDI keyboard and teach me chords and scales so I can write and record my own rhythms and melodies.
