But I'm just too happy! I'm extatic to let you know I just bought a piano! 
Not a buffet (upright) model (like this:

BUT something like this: http://gratis-zoekertjes.onlinertjes.be/image/image2/36648.jpg
YEAH I know baby!
It's an old Ritmüller piano (original version, the name has the umlaut or ¨on the u-letter, apparently that makes it a REAL one!) dating from about 1923. SO it's old!
I have some costs (strings, tuning, mechanics inside the piano, ... you know) to make it playable again, but the general state of the instrument is superb! GORGEOUS! I'm sorry I don't have any pics right now ... the add online is just finished!
I'm letting a pro-Belgium restorer completely revise the piano and fix it.
Luckely I have a great family that helps out in these financial issues ...! Truely blessed! Can thank them enough! A true dream come true!
It'll add a GREAT value to my studio! A REAL Piano! How cool is that!?! I had to tell you guys!
So now ... yeah, I'm going to have learn to play the piano too ... actually bought it for my niece ... who plays piano quite good. We're forming a band or more like an ensemble. Me on drums and classical guitar and percussion, my uncle on upright bass and my niece on piano, and a singer on electric guitar and ... yes he sings as well!
Restoring the piano takes up 2,5 to 5 months ... So I'll be happy to have it by the end of the year.
The people restoring the piano said that I can think of it this way 'you'll actually restoring the piano, but you're actually get a great almost NEW piano back for a FRACTION of the price of a new one ..."
End of my happy rant about my piano.
All the best!
