Anyone play an instrument?

I have another odd thing going on.

I haven't played my piano in almost 30 years, and about 4 months ago decided to re-train myself. It's not like riding a bike at all! Anyway the poor old thing is severely out of tune but fine for what I'm doing. I practice almost every day.

As you know, I've recently started meditating, today I woke up filled with such love, it was oozing out of me :lol:

I sat down to practice my piano a little while ago and had such trouble because the notes sounded different. Not bad or anything, just different, maybe like I was playing the song in a different key (but I wasn't).

Could it be something like I'm at a different level of vibration than usual so things sound different? Hmm...that said I haven't noticed that anything else sound different.

Any thought?

LOVE!!!!
Sammy

Well, I guess it was not my vibration...My son's GF came home and I asked her to play the piano and she thought it sounded different too...More in tune! I wonder if barometer changes could have tuned my piano a bit.

Yay for going back to your piano! :bana:

If your piano hasn't been tuned since then, then yes it would probably sound different. Moisture, temperature, and time can all affect tone. As we get progressively older some higher tones are beyond our range of hearing. I know this because our kids test and tease my husband and I on this periodically.

Speaking to your vibration being different, that sounds plausible also. As our vibration changes, our perceptions change. I've noticed music I used to be intolerant of doesn't make me feel the same way as it used to. That also goes for me being more intolerant of certain musical tones as well.
