So while I was back home on break I got to play on my grandmother's semi-concert grand piano. I showed up and it was as I expected; a vintage ornament.

The next day I took down all that extra stuff that rattles and opened it up.

Brian, I'm sorry, but there isn't a video I will post as I didn't want to go through the effort of finding a microphone that didn't get just completely distorted by the piano.

For those that care this is a Bösendorfer 225 semi-concert grand from 1882. It is a beauty to play, except the tuning board doesn't like to cooperate very nicely after 133 years.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

And my little drum set. Sooner or later when I have a real career I'm going to have to build a band room for my house.

I was classically trained on the piano for a very long time, but after being forced into it and never finding a reason to like it myself I quit. I've finally came back to it after 6 years of ignoring it completely.

I have forgotten everything except technical skills and the C and D major scales. Over the break I learned how to play a song, but was having difficulty with precision hitting and have decided I'll go back and learn all my scales and arpeggios. Hell I even had two right in the names of every note for the 7 pages of that song.

You can tell mine haven't been played in a very long time. I would like that to change, but I've got higher priorities in my life right now.
