New Toy – Yamaha CLP-230 Digital Piano

I have been dying to get a Piano for a while now, however with the stairs, and the tuning, and the space it just hasn’t proved practical. But I’ve been also needing a new MIDI controller Keyboard. Mine is only two octaves, and a few notes don’t work so good after the coffee incident… So I found a good medium point. A fairly decent digital Piano. I didn’t go overboard and get one with all the bells and whistles since I’m going to be using it with my computer anyway. It has a great Piano sound and feel, a USB port, and who needs anything else?

It has a GH3 Keyboard which has different weightings on the hammers, so the action is heavier in the lower end of the keyboard and lighter in the high end making it very realistic to play.

Within minutes of setting it up I found myself writing this piece. Apologies for my rusty playing – I haven’t lived with a piano since moving out of my parents house about ten years ago, so I have a lot of practicing to catch up on :(

    Actually, for having just written that “within minutes” it doesn’t sound rusty at all.

    If you listen closely, my left had and right hand are out of time with each other, and my pedal work’s pretty dodgey, the timing is erratic, and my thumbs are too much louder than the rest of my fingers. Meh, maybe I’m too fussy, but it sounds much better in my head than when I actually play it :)

    Lovely piece of music. I stopped playing the piano years ago, but I would like to pick it up again because I think it’s great for songwriting.
    No need to criticise your playing so much either Kristie, because it has feeling, which is far more important than technical ability in my opinion.
    Lovely stuff.
