We tried out a new piano bar Downtown on a friend’s recommendation.
I had the grand piano.
She had an upright piano.
They were good, but not great.
“Oh, those are the house pianos,” said the bartender, handing up menus. “I highly recommend the Steinways.”
So, we each had a Steinway Grand D9, and man, they were amazing.
The resonance and the pitch were impressive.
But at the end of the night, oh man, the check was a fortune.
I had to sell my tux, and she had to pawn her jewelry.
Next time we’ll stick with the house pianos.
