Face to the wind
I look ahead
goodbye to the old
now the new instead.
It’s a digital thing
unlike my old grand
a sign of the time
like the gnarl of my hand.
But I admit I’m befuddled
in this alien realm:
am I at a piano
or the Enterprise helm?

It does seem very spacey. I misread one of the buttons as harps and mallets. I’m still puzzled by the mallets.

I believe the mallets refer to instruments like marimbas, which are struck by mallets. So if I am inspired to play “Jingle Bells” on a marimba, I can do so! Or at least sound as though I am doing so, just by pressing a button or two. Well, I also have to play
“Jingle Bells.” Then, with another press of a button, I can segue into “Happy Birthday to you” on a harp. (I can see my family running for earplugs now.)

No advice from this non musically skilled individual, but I hope it meets all of your needs and provides you a lot of joy. I hope it is a huge satisfaction once you figure it out. 🙂

Thanks, Judy! I do see some good times ahead. And I can use it with earphones, so I can turn it up to Carnegie Hall volume and keep the concert to myself!

My granddaughter bought a keyboard this year and has the earphones. I haven’t had an chance to see it, but that sounds like quite an enhancement. You enjoy it and the rest of the family and/or neighbors don’t complain. 🙂

Exactly!
