i know what you mean marky - i like my pianos, but i don't really feel any emotional attachment to them. Is that wrong? I guess not, they're only machines after all - they're replaceable. Machines upon which beautiful things are possible, but machines nonetheless!

Well neither am I really Joseph - I don't make mistakes (

) so I guess it isn't wrong to be unemotionally attached to your instrument

They are purely functional but dear help the first person that comes near it with a cup of coffee or a glass of red wine!

I like my black polyester finish, polished and pristeen if for no other reason than to prevent me from looking bad when visitors come in!

Well, I'm not too sure if I have a strong emotional attchment to my Clavinova, I haven't had it that long ( 4 months? ) and I am already thinking about getting another when I get back to work and save!

The Clavs really just my 'temporary' or 'nightime pratice' one.
Its the music I play, thats what I have the strong emotional attchment to.

Thats ok no need to apologise!

I can completely understand what you mean about the emotinal attchment with it - after all when playing, the piano should be an extension of yourself or a least something in which to project your personality into.

I've had many a bad experience with my pupils and their bogeys. Some like to draw them back discreetly down the keys, some like to pretend they're not there at all, some deny that the bogey originally came from their own nose. Once, when I went back into the room where people wait for their lesson, I found a wet and extensive bogey strewn across one of my brand new chintz curtain tails. I had to let it dry before scraping it off.

Bogeys do have their uses however: I know of a teacher who uses 'Every Green Bogey Deliciously Flavoured' as a mnemonic for the lines of the treble stave...

No, she has a room where people wait. Might be a kitchen/loo/shed!

Hey Gill ( sorry this is completely off topic )

Guess what I ( my mum ) got a Tanzanite ring today. Got it really cheap in Hatton Gardens, was 700 quid managed to get it for 400. Its a beauty, and has to diamons either side of it.

I feel like puting all my mums rings on and playing Goldberg Variations!

( if I could play them )

Quite right: it's just another room..

Oh, I forgot to add, whatever room my pupils wait in, there's always a box of tissues now.
