What would you do if you were banned from playing the piano for a year

[perfect_playing]

Discuss! Would you go mad? Would you just learn another musical instrument? Would you cry? Would you jump with joy as you hate practising and hate the piano but just play because you're told to?
I don't know what I'd do. I can't bear to think of life without the piano!!!!!

Not good at doing what I'm told, so I'd just keep playing.

[outin]

I would go back to my old ways...doing nothing much...enjoyed that too

Not an option. Sorry. Too bad.

I'd buy a harpsichord or clavichord - I believe the latter may have Bach's preferred instrument, so can't be all bad (and it wouldn't annoy the neighbours).

I would play harpsichord, too.

But I would be very sad, although I sometimes, for very long periods, don't touch a piano at all.

If there's no harpsichord ( or virginal, or clavichord ) available during the year, then I would read through scores / sheetmusic and play them in my head.

Cordially, 8_oct!

I would play piano 

[thalbergmad]

I would play banjo even more than now.

Three months was bad enough...

Find a group of willing victims and go back to choral conducting!

[chopinlover01]

Mmm... Judo probably.

[visitor]

I'd probably take conducting classes. And work lots of overtime or get 2nd job.  Use extra money I upgrade in piano/buy another grand.

Nobrainer question ! You get on a (piano) forum and engage in endless and pointless discussions about anything at all, writing one page-long rant after another. Thinking about it it makes me wonder if some here HAVE indeed been banned from playing 

But seriously, this would be a golden opportunity to learn to (better) play the organ.

I did it. I quite piano age 14 to play bassoon in school band, then lost the school loaned instrument when I graduated. I bought a hifi stereo and played a lot of records while I persued science through college, then a job.  Finally age 30 I had enough income that I bought a house, then age 32 a piano.  I missed do it yourself music so much.  The free access piano at the officer's club (my job age 30-33) was a beat up piece of **** Kimball. 
I still miss the school band though. No amateur group has come close to being as good as they were.
Age 45 I tried singing in the local little theater, HMS Pinnafore, but those people kept dragging in the latest infection to pass on to me. I had four weeks of colds in two bouts in 9 weeks of rehearsal/performance.  Its not worth it.  **** European decendents get over a cold in two days, but not me.  
I've tried finding a local pop band to play in, but every venue like music stores where bands form require you play imported rubber ****, and every pop musician not already in a band smokes dope or requires beer to play! Or they are age fourteen.   It would be so easy to socialize if I just played computer games or something.

More time to practice organ 

Lots of other things to do as well, like writing down my music.
