new toy....

New toy in the house …. a big hole in my pocket. Well, we had a piano before – a closed friend had lent it to us. Unfortunately the person who lent it to us was not the owner. The rightful owner ( her ex-husband) had asked us to buy it or returned it. He said it in a very polite way , “ I had someone wanted to buy it and payment is not a problem – you can pay whenever you like…” He claimed that his neighbour wanted to pay NT 50k for it… The piano was local assembled(although they claimed it was imported from Japan) and it was 15 y/o old. Some of the tone was unable to be adjusted….. The price was estimated at about NT 30k max…. We decided to return it. So the next 6 months, Yun had to go the Piano teacher’s house for lesson. She had progressed slowly as she could not practice in the house.

We decided to buy one – we hesitated between the old one and new one… We were eyeing on Yamaha but later I saw a blogger who shared her view- the Yamaha sound was clear but too sharp (I am not good in describing music) but the Kawai sound softer. So, I buy this top model of Kawai – the price I paid can’t even buy a Yamaha intermediate product….Yun was happy but I had another problem – Xian, he is asking for a drum set : Still under family discussion – an electronic roland v drum or a acoustic drum…maybe a WII drum set first....
