Hard Instrument
Dear Auntie, I just found out that "piano" is an Italian word meaning "soft". Why on earth would they call an instrument that's so big and hard a "soft"? I've been toying a lot lately with the idea of getting an upright into my room, but my passageway is so narrow that I'm afraid it might get stuck in there and never come out. My cousin from Lapland has been visiting. He's got a cute accent, he pronounces it "pee-onner". He's a real player, man can he bang that thing! He says that his instrument is the hardest in the world. Besides piano, he's also been teaching me a traditional dance from his home country. I know they have a lot of reindeer in Lapland, so I asked him if he'd ever met Santa Claus. He pretended like he didn't know what I was talking about. My question is this: Is there a Santa Claus?

Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus. Come christmastime go sit on Santa's lap and do that dance your cousin is teaching you. He won't be able to refuse you. In fact he'll probably give you the upright then and there! If you're still worried that it might be too tight of a squeeze to get it into your place, ask Santa if he'll try to fit it in through the back door.

Have you considered a spinet? All you need is a good rope, a pulley and a basket (preferably made in China). Simply lower the basket onto the pianist, then spinet!
