Musical instruments and the simplicity of raw foods

Date: July 07, 2008 03:16AM One thing I like about the raw food lifestyle is how simple it can be. Simplicity is something I try to extend to the other areas of my life, as well. In the past few years, I've been interested in trying to learn a musical instrument, but this comes in conflict with my desire for simplicity.
So I was hoping you all could give me some suggestions on simple musical instruments. By "simple" I mean something you can bring anywhere without lots of accessories, that doesn't require electricity, etc. *I reserve the right to be picky and reject any suggestions (no harmonicas) Re: Musical instruments and the simplicity of raw foods

Date: July 07, 2008 05:17AM Hey, TL, all opinions are welcomed.
I thought about the recorder, but stringed instruments like the guitar and ukulele seem more conducive to playing while hanging out with a group of friends. I don't know whether I would do that or not, though. I guess I should think more about what I want to get out of the instrument and how/where/why/what I'd like to play.

Date: July 08, 2008 03:42AM I struggle over this, too. I want another piano. A big grand. (I sold mine about 10 years ago to pay off the mortgage). But pianos require tuning and climate control.
I guess a wood recorder would be minimal impact. But you can't do as much with it as you can with a piano. Re: Musical instruments and the simplicity of raw foods

try and get a used piano some people may be trying to move and want to get rid of theirs because they don't play it any more yeah, they sometimes need tuning once in a while but they are pretty "sturdy" in comparison to other instruments that need tuning more frequently as far as the climate control thing... just keep it indoors/dry i'd say go with the Baldwin : simple gorgeous good sounds surprisingly, some of those fancy shmancy pianos that cost big bucks don't even have a lot of resonance ( get yer head out of the O chem books when you hear the word "resonance" cuz i just KNOWWW that was your FAVE subject LOL cal gunder get a piano so what if you have to almost break your back to drag it on their little wheels to wherever you have to go they are "simple" just CDEFGABC do re mi fa so la ti do ( think "Sound of Music" more importantly pianos are simply gorgeous can't beat the fact that it is an entire orchestra in and of itself no need to depend on other instruments when u got the piano piano is KING Re: Musical instruments and the simplicity of raw foods
