I sat down at my piano last night and, for the life of me, couldn't locate certain keys. In particular, I was looking for the B# and the E# keys. I looked and looked and looked but to no avail, so I gave up.
Then I decided to look for a couple of other keys, the Cb and the Fb and lo and behold, I didn't have any luck in that department, either.
I guess that's what you get when you buy a Japanese piano and I thought Yamaha built a pretty good instrument.
I should have bought their motorcyle instead! Whoa!

Erv... You can only find those keys on pianos made in Kenya.

You know, "Kenya find this key? Kenya find that key?"

There is no problem finding the notes that Erv can't find on his piano if you follow this rule.
Use the same tuning fluid with your piano that you use on your steel guitar. (it may take more than one bottle).
Remember...up and left for flats, up and right for sharps!

I'm sorry but I tried to explain this to a blonde once and her head exploded, so I will spare you the details.

That being said, just listen to any severely drunken steel player and you'll hear plenty of C-flats and E-sharps Laughing

Bb is the one I hate the most. You know.. When you go to a beach and say, she Bb, and she Bb.
