Stub Will your new house have a garage?

That's a great idea! Or the laundry room or some other less public room. I actually have some artwork in a walk-in closet πŸ˜‚

Regarding the purse, I'm sure there's someone out there who would love it! I'm pretty active in my neighborhood Buy Nothing group (on Facebook) and it's so heartwarming to give stuff to people who are thrilled to be the recipient.

My favorite bit of kit is an action model I picked up off ebay a couple of years ago. I have grand (and very ill-conceived) plans to make some modifications at some point, and am using this to get my bearings. And it's just a lot of fun to see how an action works.

    My wife makes fancy quilts.

    She made this little wall hanging for me a couple of years ago. I have it beside my piano, of course.

    She said there wasn't a good way to make budgies that would fit into the available space, but the singing birds are appropriate anyway.

    Rubens I was actually at a Goodwill recently when a young man came in to donate a very nice-looking keyboard, stool and accessories. It was all I could do not to be a "piano sleazeball" myself!

    @TC3 and @kanadajin , I love those two prints/paintings!

    @TC3 maybe the artist wanted you to think it was a Bigfoot footprint?? πŸ˜„

    I'd be inclined to keep the bag, and use it to store all those little musicky things that can clutter up shelves - pencils, notebooks, stickers, erasers. But you're probably so techy you don't use these any more ... πŸ™‚

    If only I wore heels…

    I dunno, you all are convincing me to keep the piano bag… πŸ˜…

    This is awesome. Remind me what piano you have? I'm curious to hear what modifications you're hoping to eventually make!

      I have a Bose 214VC with a Disklavier system. That system has a silent play feature, which employs an alternative letoff that lets you have the "best of both worlds" in terms of action integrity between acoustic and silent play. The "problem" I see with the alternative letoff is that it's a single rail that affects all keys the same way, and I can definitely tell that the regulation is a bit "off" on some keys in silent mode. So at some point I'd love to replace the silent letoff rail with one that has 88 individual felts or buttons, so the silent regulation can be as dialed in as possible--given that 99% of my playtime is in silent mode, getting the touch right matters a lot to me!

      Just like ShiroKuro, I too have a clock on the wall beside my piano.

      It's not exactly piano themed. cough

      I've had that clock for several decades and it still works fine. πŸ™‚

      All of this is wonderful, and making me slightly jealous lol. I don't have any piano-themed paraphernalia to speak of.

        Luckily this is a problem that can be easily resolved!! πŸ™‚

        She made me another wall hanging that has little birdhouses on it.

        Gosh, do you suppose there could be a theme in there somewhere? πŸ€”

        ranjit just post your address here and all of the piano paraphernalia that is looking for a new home will magically appear on your doorstep! You want a little piano purse, right? πŸ˜‚

        Edit: no shame for anyone who loves it, however you identify!
