I love music and I can play the piano. Can you play any instruments?
Yes! I actually play the acoustic stringed instrument, the piano also. They were invented in Italy around the year 1700. What's your favorite type of music to play?
I did not know they were originally Italian! I like classical music. I have an upright piano.

I guess piano is easier! When did you start playing?
I started when I was 4 years old! I used to love opening the wooden casing that surrounds the strings and looking inside as I played.
That must require concentration! Do you play in an orchestra?
No not at all. I play by ear, and just for fun! Have you ever looked at the mechanism of the hammer hitting the strings inside? 
I don't know about the mechanisms of the piano and I need to read music to play.

worked a lot with simulating stringed instruments, so it's always good for us to get some people in and play the real thing. I suppose strings and piano are our instruments of preference; those are the sounds we like to work with. That timbre, you know? In terms of writing music — not that we really write music per se, but say we did write music, we'd write it for strings and piano." Adding, "A lot of times when we get musicians into the studio we
