I don’t always buy a piano, but when I do… it’s free.

I’m thinking about a piano a lot lately. There are a ton of them on kijiji for free – of course, on the condition that the “buyer” comes and takes it away themselves. The “seller” doesn’t point out that they weigh 800 pounds. Only $350 to pay a moving company though. For a relatively in-tune piano, not bad… it’s all equal temperament anyways, so nothing is ever actually in tune.

I think I’ll be picking one up, and applying some absurd time signatures and muddy lows to a piano market otherwise dominated by popular garbage. No one does something original with acoustic piano any more.

No one will like it, but hey, as the best (only?) upcoming alternative metal band in Edmonton, if you’re not getting shot at, you’re not doing your job right.
