My piano

This is my new piano that was made in 1920. As most of you don't know, unless I've already told you, I'm going to try to learn to be a piano technician/ tuner and such...and any ways....

you can see I've taken it apart. When I was bringing it up to pitch I only broke one string...first sting I ever broke... but it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be..

And I thought I'd put in picture of some of my family and me. As you can see we have aluminum foil on our heads ; )


Well hows that for a post?

P.S. by the way, if you didn't figure it out yet... I'm the one on the right ; )

P.P.S. Jesus loves you a lot.

Cool pictures! I like the close up one. So you broke your first sting--wow, what a momentous occasion.

Oh, and nice hats :-).

The string braking wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be. It was a relief also that I broke it on my piano instead of yours!

The hats... thank you for the complement! (the aliens can't read our minds ; )

Yay! (poke) Oh, and, umm, happy birthday to you too:-D! (whenever that is:-D). That picture at the end of you, Abby, and you're mom looks like that picture that Toni posted of "Signs", with the aluminum foil on you're heads and everything:-)

That's a cool piano. It completely fits with your hats. Was the string you broke middle G or C sharp 2 octaves above middle C? Being a piano tuner/technician is so awesome, even as a hobby that would be cool.

Do you replace strings yet? Or would you like to practice repairing one on a grand piano?

the string I broke on my piano is C# two octaves above middle C! How did you guess? Each note has the three strings and this one was shared between C# and D... I think it broke when I was tuning D 15va(two octaves) above middle c.
The hats...well I hadn't put a picture of myself up yet and though why not put up a funny own with some of "me" family.

Cool, one of my best friend's dad does piano repair! Looks like a nice piano! Hope you have fun with it!
Hmm, nice hats :). And thank you for pointing that out, or I would not have been able to tell you you were :).
You live close to Beth don't you? And Alex and Anna? Do you all know each other?

Nah Josh,

I'm just amazing that way. In fact the only thing that surpasses my greatness would be my humility...

Dude, I need to get your email from Toni. You and I seriously need to meet. Why don't you come to ARC?

Haha, yeah, we were inspired by Abby's lip syncing :-). It was fun to make.

And yes, I edited the George movie! The sound quality is understandably awful, and some of the video clips got cut short, but it turned out all right. Maybe I'll add that one to my latest post...
