https://skyeterna.bandcamp.com/album/more-than-protect-love "More Than Protect, Love" is a collection of glacial instrumental, ambient love songs for trans women and trans fems. Love is big, complex, messy, and even uncomfortable sometimes; and there are so few love songs that are specifically written for us that we get so few chances to hear ourselves in them fully. Today is Bandcamp Friday, so 100% of proceeds will go to me as the artist. But you can also pay as little as $0 for the album :) #BandcampFriday #ambient #ambientmusic #lovesongs #trans #fedimusic #piano

Consult _The Piano Book_ by Larry Fine, often available at libraries. Doesn’t need to be the latest edition; the “piano blue book” part at the end goes out of date, but the general advice about selecting and owning a piano is timeless. Consult it •before• you go shopping, and also before you think about exactly where you’re going to place a piano in your home. It’s a good old-fashioned paper book, and IMO it’s still better and more comprehensive advice than anything you’ll find online. The rest of this thread is just frosting; that book is what you really need to consult. 2/ #piano

Beware of any and all “free” pianos, which often need so much work they are actually $-2000 pianos. You can hire a piano technician to take a look at a piano and assess its condition. It’s a really good idea to do this. A piano that seems hopelessly broken might have a problem that can be fixed in half an hour; a piano that seems OK might have a serious problem that is beyond help. A technician can tell the difference pretty quickly. 3/ #piano

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever attempt to move a piano yourself. Hire piano movers — not just movers, but •piano• movers. The potential damage to humans and houses is so much larger than the extra cost of hiring the right person for the job, there’s just no comparison. I don’t care if you did it before and didn’t die. I don’t care if the movers seem really strong though. Don’t. The Piano Book goes in depth about this with some (true!) horror stories. I’m just surfacing it because it’s such an easy mistake to make, and because “preventable safety hazard!” is one of my favorite genres. 4/ #piano

You should budget a couple hundred dollars / year for tuning & maintenance. Acoustic pianos, even mediocre ones, have a life and a joy in them that even very high-end electric keyboards cannot match. You’re much more likely to be drawn to play an acoustic! And no, “but it has weighted keys!” does not change this equation. It’s more than key weight; it’s about the incredible organic complexity of the internals of these instruments. An electric can •sound• a lot better than all but the fanciest and best-maintained acoustics, but the acoustics will so often still •feel• better. And feel beats sound. BUT… Getting an acoustic piano is more like adopting a pet than buying an appliance, so set expectations accordingly! /end #piano

Surfacing from a conversation in someone else’s replies, advice many folks on Fedi might like (but I don’t want to swamp their mentions): ADVICE ABOUT GETTING A PIANO If you’re thinking about getting a •piano• (the acoustic instrument) and not an electric keyboard… 1/ #piano

The Board of Directors at the center announced Thursday that Marsalis will transition from his current role as artistic and administrative leader over the next two years. Marsalis is one of the most influential figures in the industry. As one of the most recognizable faces at Lincoln Center, he helped move jazz into the prestigious cultural institution. "When we established Jazz at Lincoln Center in 1987, our goal was to build an enduring jazz institution that would both entertain and educate by exposing multi-generational audiences to an often-overlooked aspect of American culture, and I am proud of the tremendous progress we've made," Marsalis said in a statement.

I have way more things that need buying but, I can't without piano, lol. Since I'm at home for a week now and I can't always carry my physical piano over anyways, now might be the time for a complete control keyboard, at least I can improve accessibility on this stuff for good now and don't constantly have to rely on presets and computer use. So, the m32 seemed nice enough, but honestly, that's just kind of little. I was gonna get one for accessibility exclusively, but now I'm kinda trying to find a middle ground. Doesn't need to be like 88 keys or something insane, probably something like 60 ish would cut it too, but also, if possible, it should be afortable and still include all the accessibility features which, I heard roomers that not all of them do. Tips anyone? #music #piano #keyboard #ni

梅德韦杰夫弹海顿和门德尔松！如果光看这曲目的话我估计不想去，但是因为梅德韦杰夫我就去了，弹得很好！虽然赋格有一点弹乱。 看起来他已经发展起了一批老太太粉丝，哈哈，老太太在跟她旁边老姐妹使劲夸，曲目多样，每场都特精彩…… 吃了个加了焦糖和香草冰淇淋的皇帝煎饼，一周的糖分都够了，太可怕了奥地利人 #NikolaiMedvedev #Piano #Haydn #Mendelssohn #都是我辛辛苦苦听的
