Yes and no...It seems a nice 'what if?' if playing music were as simple as humming, but at the same time, there's no subsitute for the individualised ways in which we express ourselves through instruments from the kazoo to the one-man-band machine. When you play, you're holding soundwaves in your hand, it's a gift that shouldn't be taken lightly or come easily.
I have an aunt with a concert grand in her living room; I'm not very good (i faked my way through lessons as a kid by learning where middle C is on the staff and counting painstakingly up and down from that line until i memorised the song, so i can't even read music), but when i started hammering out an improv in C minor, i swear the thing played by itsself. Amazing machines, but gigantic and expensive.
hey DnD. its the same piano, but as I've opened it up it has a brighter tone. I want a grand piano so bad, but they are so big ... maybe some day :) peACE!
Is that a new piano? Personally, i have a certain affection for the way an old upright echoes and creaks, but grands have this incredibly sharp sound that can't be duplicated. Impressive as always.
Tofu Rules! Yea! lol! Tofu and music will save the world...That's what a Beef told me! And he was right lol! But we got to make the tofu, and we got to play music, so let's do it!:-)
it does come easily at times, but not always, and so all artists have to find balance, and inspiration, etc... easy come easy go!
peace my friend :)

the instrument can certainly make a huge difference. wouldn't it be nice if everything just played itself!?!?
