Baldwin Acrosonic Piano

via Chicago Craigslist [$6,000]

FROM THE AD:

Rare piano! Very low production numbers. Own a piece of history. These Mid Century Modern Acrosonics are not only beautiful to look at, to they are know to be the nicest small pianos around. They do play and sound very good.

Feeling reminiscent…

Played this Philip Gordon banger (as 3rd clarinetist) during 7th grade at the Florida Bandmasters Association regional MPAs in 2003. Back then, I was the ONLY STUDENT in my MS band who had an EVER-GROWING background knowledge of early music pre-1776 (not to mention me being a part of the minority who had cable).

With me having developed a taste for Henry Purcell (and other baroque composers besides the Bach family and my personal favorite, GF Handel), it was fun playing music of his contemporaries arranged for band.

Fast forward to adulthood, and I decided to start searching for the origins of each movement. (Thanks, Mark Polesky.) All the movements in the Gordon band piece originated from harpsichord suites. (Remember the Fiocco Allegro from Suzuki Book 6?)

Here’s the first movement - the Minuet from Jeremiah Clarke’s (of the Prince of Denmark March fame) Suite No 1. in G Major.

Movement starts on 11:32.

The second movement is the Sarabande from William Croft’s (of “O God, Our Help in Ages Past” fame) Suite No. 3 in C Minor, played on a - GASP - a replica 1722 Thomas Hitchcock spinet!

Movement starts on 7:37.

Finally, the third movement is the march from Francis Piggott’s Set in C Major, played on a harpsichord sample set.

Movement starts on 6:51.

From G.F. TELEMANN, we play on our spinet, the ARIA from the Overture in G major TWV 32:13 for harpsichord or keyboard.

there isn't really any concensus in Afrikaans on what the word is for a typing keyboard

like, I use sleutelbord which is a literal translation of "key + board" and I feel like most people my age use this as well. a sleutel is the type of key which unlocks a door

I have occasionally seen klawerbord used, but this is surely a translation error, because klawerbord does technically mean "keyboard"... as in an electric piano. a klawer is a key on a piano, which is a klavier

and then I've also seen and heard academics, literary folks and journalists use toetsbord or toetsebord, so I feel like this is more "correct" term from a prescriptivist perspective, but the vibes are all wrong. a toetsebord refers to the keyboard manuals on a pipe organ, and the toetse, more broadly, also includes the stops (which ofc a regular piano doesn't have). and it just feels inappropriate to me to use the same word for something as majestic as an organ and also the little letters on my phone

and while I did play around on typewriters as a child, they were already basically obsolete at that point so idk what terminology was used for their keyboards. but I read an article recently which seemed to use toetse for the buttons, and sleutel for actual bit of metal which strikes the ribbon. so both sleutelbord and toetsbord could work

okay so like. mymusic is about internalized transphobia. right. we can all agree on this. right.

like, i know that curtis's arc is meant to be allegorical for coming out as gay, but it makes a lot more sense for him to be trans, which means that the music genre(s) you like are akin to genders in this universe, or at least at mymusic.

following this logic, flowchart doesn't like music, making him nonbinary.

which two employees does indie resent the most? flowchart and nerdcore, both for their inability to conform to his rules of music taste gender. we know that indie puts a lot of effort into being a proper impassive hipster, which theoretically he shouldn't have to if that was truly who he was (not to mention that he does this to please his father, which, oof.) we also know that indie can envision himself becoming a nerd, which is specifically the subculture/stereotype most explicitly presented as being "trans."

I love period dramas, I’ll say that first

and I know the driving force behind period dramas is not always going to be perfect historical accuracy

but when they sit down at that spinet to plunk out a few notes or play a song for dancing

and the sound it makes is the silky tone of a concert grand piano

I start clawing the walls and screaming

quietly

to myself

Baldwin Acrosonic Piano

via Chicago Craigslist [$8,500]

FROM THE AD:

1961 Baldwin Acrosonic in the highly sought out Mid Century Modern body. Hard to find. Google this model, they sell as high as $10k in bad condition. This one is in excellent condition. We just changed the keytops, a $800 cost. The piano has been fully serviced and tuned! It's ready for it's new owner. It's not just pretty to look at, it plays and sounds good too!
