This post opens up a series of tiny accounts of the things I use in every day life that help me to be a composer and a performer.
It's gonna be about tools and gadgets mainly. Some of them are pretty basic, but I'm gonna mention them anyway.
Well, my piano is neither upright, nor grand, yet, I would still call it "noble". :)
There's only one digital piano I've owned in my life - it's Yamaha P-90.
I bought it in 2004 - and since then it's travelled with me through many cities and countries and it's never let me down.
I know Yamaha doesn't produce it anymore and probably they moved on to something more advanced, but I still can't part with my P-90.
My entire debut album - "THE GIRL WITH THE FLAXEN HAIR, CONTINUED..." was written and recorded on my Yamaha P-90.
I liked its sound better than any sampled pianos I've ever encountered.
It's great for practicing - you can turn the volume up and down or use your headphones and you don't bug your neighbours. Also, you obviously can use it as a midi keyboard.
And the touch is almost like a real piano, so it's great for practicing your recitals.
Of course, ideally I'd like to own a Yamaha grand, but I'm still waiting for an offer. :)
I really like Yamaha. It's pure quality.

Tool no1. Digital keyboard.
