Not a Wide Selection

I went to a local shop to check out some digital piano. Unfortunately, they didn’t have many choices. Most of them were just cheap digital pianos without any weighted keys, but I did see the Casio PX-3 there. For more information on the Casio PX-3, click here.

It was odd to see such an impressive digital piano there when most of the selection were just downright bad. Anyway, I tried out the Casio PX-3, and it was actually incredible. I’m not sure if my view on it was slightly affected by the fact that every other digital piano there was bad or if the Casio PX-3 was actually good. Nevertheless, I was thoroughly impressed.

The Casio PX-3 had nearly perfect weighted action. The sound wasn’t as impressive, but it was still great.

Anyway, I didn’t end up buying anything. It would not be wise of me to purchase a digital piano without being able to test any other good ones, even if it was as impressive as the Casio PX-3.

Country Music at a House Party

Last weekend I grudgingly hosted a house party. I’d had a couple of parties round my house before and they always ended up in a mess with me babysitting the drunk people, being a bouncer for the frayed tempers and frankly wishing I hadn’t bothered. I made the promise to myself that this party was going to be different. No dub step was allowed and only country songs were played after 11pm. Surprisingly, it seemed to work!

Come 11pm, most people have had a few beverages and the night can go either way. Instead of the intense tones of trance and dub step, the chilled out, fun tones of the country music seemed to put a smile on everyone’s face and the night went very smoothly after that. Some people even helped me clean the kitchen before they went to bed! Apparently music influences people’s moods more than I thought.

Music for Stores Equates to Profit

We tend not to notice what’s happening around us when they seem so normal. We don’t give them much thought, nor do we analyze the importance of their existence. They’re like part of our day, our routine. They blend into our surroundings that we don’t pay them any attention. Behind this nonchalant facade, music for stores is actually a well-placed, thought-of strategy for profit. We don’t realize this because music is very much part of our existence. That’s why its presence when we buy our groceries, when we scout for a good book, or when we eat our snacks in establishments makes it very effective as a tool of revenue. Subconsciously, music makes us linger a little while more especially when we hear our favorite song blasting through the store’s speakers. Lingering may actually be associated to more purchases, additional orders, or increase in attention to products on display. A strategy so simple and yet very valuable.

Kawai Deserves More Recognition

As I was reading this Kawai MP6 review, I noticed that Kawai does not have a huge digital piano following. I understand that they are well-known for their acoustic pianos. After all, they developed one of the well-renowned Steinway pianos. However, that’s why I’ll never understand why they don’t get more recognition for their digital pianos. It’s baffling.

The Kawai MP6 is literally the best simulation of the grand piano for its price. Even though it only costs $1500, you won’t find a better digital piano until the Kawai MP10 at $2500. It’s just inexplicable why they don’t have a huge following.

Is it their name? Do people not like the fact that Kawai does not list their sampling layers because they believe in abstract dynamics rather than some sort of concrete art?

Whatever the reason is, Kawai deserves more recognition for their digital pianos. They constantly produce products that are of much higher quality than the listed price.

Ancient History or Timeless Treasure?

Many people have entered into the debate about whether classic rock is better than modern rock and vice versa. There tend to be two schools of thought about classic rock, one which states that classic rock is ancient history and should be forgotten, and another which states that classic rock is a timeless treasure. Well there does seem to be a lot of support for the second view point as classic rock seems to have fans and followers from each generation. However, to make your own informed decision, you have to know the music. The only way to truly appreciate classic rock and to get a feel for what it really, is to take the time to watch some classic rock videos online. You cannot fairly make judgements about a style of music if you are not aware of what that style of music actually entails. Take the time to watch some videos and decide for yourself.
