When's Pete15 coming out, by the way? :-)

In order to answer OP's question: I spend much too much time here. Much too much. And now I'm even reading a meta thread about my participation in this forum. Oh, well...

Don’t say you weren’t warned, Mickey!

I clearly remember warning you about staying here for too long, but you didn’t listen. You just kept coming by “occasionally” (as did I once), thinking you’d never grow dependent on this site, but here you are now, just like us, looking for your daily fix.

I warned you, Mickey, but you didn’t listen!

I come by for Pete14's daily sarcasm

It is 0 calories!

Hello.

I am Erwin, and I am an addict.

There, I said it. The first step to recovery is to admit it, right?

Now, I would like to use this opportunity to share something I found that might inspire some of my fellow pianoworld addicts, trying to learn piano but find themselves stuck on a forum:

@U3piano You don't understand, we use this forum as our excuse why we are not progressing faster at the piano. Prodigy I will never be! It is still nice to be able to pluck out a tune now and then.

Oh well, it is encouraging to see that I am not alone with the PW Forums addiction !

Now, to be on topic on this sub-forum, perhaps we could comment about the piano VST addiction

......and to blame short pivots for our shortcomings!

“It is not thy piano, Timmy, it is thyself who sucketh”!

I definitely relate to Pete14, every day I check PW, just in case of a surprise nv20 release thread 😇. Am I a hybrid piano monomaniac? Absolutely.

Is that your pickup line

I usually come on several times a day in the last few weeks. I usually check my favorite forums Digitals and Adult Beginners. But when there is nothing new there I check the other forums for interesting topics.

Usually on here first thing in the morning; lunch, after work, before bed. For a few minutes each time. I find it very enjoyable and relaxing.

So yes it is alot.🙂

I am on here (on average) about five times a day and almost every night before going to bed. I feel as if I know many of you. This forum is such a calming and relaxing place. It’s nice to be among mature, like-minded, smart people who share a kindred love and passion for music and pianos.

I have found myself plugged into the Keyboard Corner forum for years now. There are many super smart and experienced players on it, which I greatly appreciate, they can be very generous with their support. Has a real family/team spirit to it, I suspect because many of the founders/moderators are great guys.

Earlier in the year I wanted a lightweight DP with exclnt keybed. In my research I re-discovered PW and have been mostly hooked since. I like it that PW is so piano-centric, and that people talk about their dedication thru practicing.

But PW doesn't cover all my bases. In the 40 years I've been buying DPs/keyboards, I now have the surprising good fortune to have the top of the line boards (in their price categories):
- ES110: love the action and the weight. For me there's nothing else at this price point that delivers, though for the ES520 I'd put up with a bit of weight in order to have upgraded speakers and Aux/BT in. Not really familiar with any Kawai forums, this one has been my go to.

- Korg Pa1000. Fantastic quality sounds and drums, top-notch control surface including for the mic in, and the auto-accompaniment Styles consistently make me think they used studio musicians, etc., but the forum support is lackluster.

- Casio CT-X5000. Not wanting to risk the Korg for jams and family gatherings, the x5000 is a remarkable keyboard. Decent keybed (I'm surprised, arranger style boards under $500 can have awful keybeds), really decent to good sounds (doesn't hold a candle to my Pa1000, but that is 4xs the price), outstanding built-in speakers (at this price point), etc., just an altogether fun and lightweight board. The Casio forum is great, they have a guy, Brad Saucier, that has an answer to pretty much any question.


Really enjoyed the recent discussion on the topic of how soon you upgraded your AP/DP. Lots of revealing stories, threads like that keep me coming back for more!

Randy

On behalf of the community I would like to thank Randyman and Marla Jacks Piano for their kind words.

Whilst it’s true that we are well-endowed geniuses we are also humble people living in peace amongst the trees. We live only to serve the community; for you see, we are one for all and all for one (excepting Abdol).

Granted, you will find the occasional black sheep (Abdol); but this here place, whilst addictive and sometimes vindictive, can also be loving, caring, and above all, inspirational.


Yours truly,

Ben Dover (recovering addict)

I'm too busy practicing saxophone and piano and composing and doing law sh!t and playing golf etc. but usually once a day.

That seems like a useful study.

If my life gets ruined because of pianoworld, could you maybe help me out with confronting the owner with some law sh!t?

I don't think you have a viable cause of action. Nevertheless, perhaps a warning label like on cigarettes is in order: "PW is addictive" or such?

Hello. Is this PW forum support group?

Yes, how can I help you?



P.S.

You’re only one step away from reaching the light at the end of the tunnel, so go ahead, my friend, take that step; I’ll help you along the way! (It might actually be more than one step, but I’m trying to be poetic here).


Sincerely,
