Self playing piano

I was at this person's house, and he had a $150,000 self playing Steinway Piano. It could pretty much play anything from a massive list of songs he had, and it was absolutely amazing - one of the best things I've ever heard.

Would you ever buy something like this? This guy barely even plays the piano, but he listens to it all the time. I guess you'd have to really love pianists or be at the MD level to afford something like this. I checked their website, and it goes up to $230k (though you get a free iPad Pro).

That shit made me want to pop a molly it was so good.

The expensive part is the piano not the self playing. A good grand piano is worth more than a car. I feel like buying a good grand piano if you don’t play it is really not too different than buying art. It’s a conversation starter and something you buy to show status. Personally not for me, but I also think it’s not too different from driving a Porsche when a Chevy will serve the same use. Gotta spend that money somehow I guess?

 

I play the piano and I'd kill to have a Spirio Model B in my apartment. One day...

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
