I'm perfectly happy with my present piano and could quite easily live without a car. Therefore whichever I had I would sell it and save the money.

1987 Honda Accord, perhaps the best all around affordable car ever manufactured anywhere. My wife's car is a 2001 Toyota RAV 4, hit 29,000 miles Sunday night. It will become my car, we will be getting her a truck soon, then we can tow the pop-up trailer we got for a steal and go camping, we live in a great place for it (Arizona USA)

i'd like a new car rather than a new piano..im content playing on raggady old pieces of junk..yes i can differentiate between quality and non quality pianos..and yes i preffer a sound richer in quality...but my taste is more refined in the automotive department than the musical...

I would rather have a new piano. I am 14 and can't drive yet but i don't really want a car anyways. It is just a huge drain of money. Are people to lazy to walk or bike? Inless you have to drive like 10 miles.

Would have thought it would be rather difficult for you to drive at the moment.

Good to have you back :-*

you misspelled "Would". And I also probably misspelled "misspelled" and probably misspelled "probably. And I started the sentence with "And".

lol! Funny. Now, to the original question: If, say, I got to choose a Stuart & Sons, Steinway, or any other high quality piano versus a really nice car, I would get the piano. If I was choosing between a moderately good piano versus a fairly nice car, I might choose the car. (assuming I was old enough to drive, which I'm not.) Or maybe I would choose the piano. But if it was a choice between a bad piano or bad car, I would definatley choose the car. Unless it already had 120,000 miles on it.

I second the above, can't and won't drive therefore would have the piano - but I don't have houseroom for two pianos so one would have to go.... hmmm. Possibly what I actually need is a new house!

“Piano Dreams” - Exploring the Chinese Piano Explosion

The motivations for learning the piano are diverse, ranging from personal enjoyment to cultural appreciation and professional aspirations. While some see it as a way to connect with cultural heritage, others pursue it as a path to fame and fortune. In the movie “Piano Dreams” director Gary Lennon documents the struggles and sacrifices of three wannabe piano stars in modern China. Read more
