The US Military & the rest of the good guys are not going to let these traitors steal the election!
My last purchase....had to buy a new scroll knob & display screen for my Yamaha YPG 625 portable grand...fuckers clipped me 90 bucks for the screen!
mother FUCKER!!! I just took that whole goddam thing apart and the power cable on the old screen was a direct solder and the new screen has a nice new connector port for the power cable.
of course, they did not include this power cable, so now I've got this son of a bitch all apart taking up the entire kitchen table and its going to be probably next friday by the time those suckers get me a cable....IF they have one

I have a Kawai ES8 awaiting in South Australia. A real piano here in melb of course

yeah...its not my main instrument of course, but since I fancy myself as a jack of all trades, I try to be able to play any instrument at all. strings are easy since they all have common principles...I have a saxophone but dont quite remember finger patterns for woodwinds. I also have a digeridu that I got from a woodworker up in bridgewater vt, he was shocked and didnt believe me that I never played a didj before when I watched him play and mimicked it perfectly.
mom was in a top40/wedding band back in the day until I was like 7, she's still got that mehlin & sons grand piano in her living room. dad always had guitars, so I had music flowing early....I just wish I still had that old orange sparkle slingerland snare drum that her drummer gave me & my brother when we were kids
I dont read music or anything...I started to at one point but then was like yeah fk this, I dont really need it but there's good tutorials and stuff on that Yamaha, ton of great features and full graded weighted keys on it.
that Kawai's pretty nice! I love how they were bragging about the weighting of the keys...my yamaha's keys are nicer than mom's grand piano, although that thing's worth an absolute shit ton more grandparents bought it for her when she was a kid in the 60s!

Piano was my first foray into music. I think I was around 6-7. I did one recital, then we moved, and I never touched another piano. Wish I had kept it up. Around 10 or so i got into percussion. Did that into my early 20's. Then nothing at all until my first guitar in mid 40s.

My mother's uncle had an upright. I used to fart around on it when I was little. I always wanted one, but there's never any space for it. We had keyboards in the house when my siblings and I were growing up. Cheap ones. Cheap, shitty ones. The cheap, shitty kind that turns people off to learning how to play the piano, like it did me. But I still want an upright.

Cant remember who I was watching, old stuff, the guy literally had moveable keys just so that he could play stuff in different keys and not have to remember any other finger patterns Only made me think of it cuz the guy had an upright. But when I first saw upright, I thought upright bass, I got onna those, too. $300 ebay special like 15 years ago! Its a flimsy instrument, but hey, its an upright bass

AW CMON, MA!!!
Gotta call that keyboard joint tomorrow and see what the deal is with that screen...looks like a connector goes on it, but I can kinda see how its soldered too. I'll wait for those guys to say yeah solder it before I go altering shit.
A complete AR-10 upper.

So I guess now you are looking for a lower to put it on.
keyboard was an easy solder and reassemble, its back in action now
now if only I can get up the gumption to repair my Neumann u-47 replica...
Most AR 10 parts are proprietary but if you go with a DPMS Gen 2 at least a fair amount of the lower parts are generic AR15.
