[Fmpro] Gear Grief?

[Heavens2@aol.com]

Funny how we humans can become attached to inanimate objects  like cars and 
musical instruments... It was 20+ years ago that we sold my Kawaii  upright, to 
dig us out of debt. At the time, it was quite  special to me as it was the 
first piano I'd ever owned outright.  I still miss it.
 
Today I can honestly say that the grief would be far more  palpable if I were 
to part with my treasured 35-year-old Chickering baby grand,  as it's become 
an extension of me. It's more responsive to my touch than any  other piano 
I've ever had the joy of playing, including $100,000 Steinways  (though I've yet 
to have the pleasure of crossing paths with a  Busendorfer!).
 
So no, you're not alone in your emotion. But I imagine before  too long 
you'll find something to replace your Korg Triton that you'll love just  as much, 
if not more.
