2. My son wants a baby grand so badly.
I don't have room for one, though. He's taking piano lessons and is learning to play on a grand.

I'm freakin' jealous of you!

4. It takes up too much space.....
The whole house has to be arranged around the piano....

So I decided, if this thing is gonna stay in my house, I'm gonna get reaquanted with the old boy.....

Bin in the fanily since 1931

9. My son has a Yamaha keyboard.
That's what he practices on. He loves it. But he's begging for a baby grand. I'd have to add a room onto the house if I were to buy one.

I'm happy for you. Nothing is as beautiful as the sound of a piano. I love it.

7. Ooooooh. I'm jealous.
I'm restricted for the time being to playing guitar or a crappy little casio keyboard (except at gigs, where I occasionally get a real keyboard). I miss my piano!
