Oh, So Happy!

Since Jonathan and I are both taking piano lessons, it was time to upgrade our keyboard.  After scouring eBay and Craigslist for weeks I finally bid on a keyboard.  I almost didn't bid because I was still undecided about what would be the best for us, getting a keyboard or a piano.  Tough choice.  There are a lot of pros and cons for either one.  I know I can't move a piano around like I can a keyboard, ha, ha.  I like to move things around.  Of course, the value of a keyboard goes down as it ages, or it could develop internal troubles.  But pianos, they do need tuning regularly.  What to do?  I was constantly online looking for new keyboards to be posted, afraid I'd miss something.
I had quite a few keyboards in my Ebay watch list, some I'd let pass on by, some would be bought while I was still deciding for days about it, but this one stuck around. I couldn't take it anymore, it was going to be won by someone else so at the last minute I bid.  It only took 3 days to arrive and it was a box about 5 foot long, 2 foot tall and 1 foot deep.  I don't know how people moved it from truck to truck all the way from Florida.  Guess the post office is used to gigantic packages.   It does so many things, I'll have to really read up on the manual.  Most of the functions I'll probably never need or use.  What I like is that it has a teaching program built into it and it has about 487 voices.
Now I'm going through the same indecision on finding a cheap, but good microscope for Jonathan's biology class.  So much to learn about them before buying.
