The song is 'Ruk ja O dil deewani

Guess that speaks volumes about my (lack of) knowledge about DDLJ 😆 ... I probably am mistaking it for some other movie. 😛

That "new song" story is really a 😊 .

by any chance, did u try to compose any tune, just for urself. or deliberately a new tune.

Yes, a couple of times (the fact that they were pathetic is different 😆)

I also like doing variations on known songs. When I first started out piano studies, we were asked to do variations on "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" - I actually got an A+ on both of my variations! 😆

what is the difference betn "Grand" n "upright" piano ?
and what is the Range of prices.. minimum one ?

Here are some pictures:

Above: A Yamaha GRAND PIANO

Above: an UPRIGHT PIANO

The main differences are:

1) Size/Area occupied - Grand pianos need PLENTY of room

2) The Sound - Grand Pianos are louder in volume because you can actually lift the top cover of the piano and make a louder sound.

Uprights also have small top covers. The HEIGHT of an upright piano tells you about the quality of sound. The bigger the height, the better the sound.

3) Price 😛 (all prices are quoted in Canadian dollars)

NEW Grands cost an average of $10,000-$20,000

NEW Uprights cost an average of $5000-$7000

I'm not sure how much USED Grands cost as I was never shopping around for a grand piano. Probably around $7000 and above.

USED Uprights start at $100-200 (really bad quality, out of tune ones which you will need to get fixed).

One which is tuned well enough ranges from $1000-$2000 (almost as much as an Electric Piano - Yamaha Clavinova)

Have u heard of "hyper-piano" ? 😛 it's a beautiful concept.

No, never heard of it. 😕 Is it one of the Tom and Jerry Pianos which starts getting hyper with a caffeine overdose? 😛

Can you ever?😆JK!😉

😡... 😆! Be quiet... this is our third piano interview, I'm out of questions (not that I asked many in others)! 😳

Hi...T.

Here are my questions...

# Is the piano a string instrument or a percussion instrument?

#Why does the piano have 88 keys?

#How many strings does a piano have?

# What do the pedals do and how do they work?

#Is a "new" piano always better than a "used" piano?

#Should I buy a spinet piano to save space?

Thanks

and Seeing Grand.. and then Upright.. i wonder..

where do all those string go in "upright" one ? 🤔
Do they become vertical, then mechanism of hammering n all that might be complex. i am

Yep, they become vertical. The keyboard is exactly perpendicular to the strings in the upright. If you open up the top cover, you'll see the strings and hammers in vertical position. 😊
