Hey, I understand the problem well This is the only disadvantage of this wonderful instrument- it's not portable! How frustrating. I moved from my parents' house when I started studies in Kraków, and had to leave my Boesendorfer there *Sigh* I'm happy that I can at least take my violin everywhere I go!
take care AH, the new year will surely bring the solutions for all our problems

I can't even bear the thought of having to leave my piano or saxophone right now. But I'll have to do it next year when going to university. How do you get through the days??? (Besides studying of course... )

Luckily, my best friend (whom I'm going to live with during our days at university) goes to conservatory and so, if i want to, i can join her and play on the piano when actually she ought to practise . Of course, it's kinda strange to play in front of all those conservatory students although some of them don't have the talent you expect from someone studying at conservatory. Oh well, my friend does and she says I can always come with her if I feel I'm going to die without the piano .

Hang on, AH!!! and Happy New Year
Sam

...They keep the boys spinning in their own little world...

Thanks for your responses I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one missing my piano At first, when I moved out I was determined to take my piano with me no matter what, but I quickly realized that was impossible (due to space, neighbours etc)... So for now I have to go home to my parents whenever I just HAVE to play And Samke, as for your question, I also work every night, so I don't think of the piano all the time lol Emilia - I'm amazed to hear that you own a Boesendorfer - are they better to play? And doesn't it just sound wonderful??
Keep on playing, guys!! And happy new year
Love, AH

Oh I could talk about my piano for hours, please don't let me do that! My Boesendorfer is a very specific one, 'cause it's belonged to my family for more than 100 years. Four generations have learnt playing on it... So now it's rather an antique and we play it only on special occasions, having a new piano for 'daily use'.
Of course, it sounds so beautiful! But this Boesendorfer is so dear to me that I'd have problems with describing it in a dispassionate way It seems to me like the most amazing instrument ever. Sometimes I regret that it's my second instrument, as my mother always wanted me to play violin first. God, I remember being pushed by her to playing as a little girl... Now I live on my own and I have to push myself
hugs, Emilia
