Hello!

Shooting with the vintage lens again...

I went to town to pay for Leo's piano studies.

The owner of the store suddenly wanted me to see the new piano they had for sale and told me Leo might like an upgrade for Christmas.

Oh man, did it sound great! After having listened to the maestro, and another customer (a concert pianist herself) I was completely blown away, but I didn't have time for but one photo before having to come back home and prepare some food for the family.

The piano in question was a Kawai Novus NV5 Hybrid piano, here's Kawai's own promotional video for it:

It was a bit too expensive for Leo to upgrade to at the moment, but if the cryptos really go to the moon, we'll see...

Talking about pianos and Leo, I must mention this... Leo's piano teacher recently asked him if he would like to perform in an upcoming concert. I didn't realize he's already that amazing! I'm personally hoping Leo will say Yes!

When I was there, we also chatted about Miro, about how he'd also been having piano lessons early on, but dropped out because he didn't like to be teached and only wanted to perform. Well, Miro has grown a bit, but he is saying he doesn't want to play piano, but violin.

The shop owner hinted that I could get him an electric violin, as they are much quieter and most times cheaper too. I think I will keep this in mind if Miro still insists on wanting to learn violin.

But hey, I'll go prepare the boys some evening snacks before they get to bed.

See ya!
