Piano Music Instrument Anime Drawing
The piano is one of the most well known musical instruments. I tried learning it a bit, but I was very distracted. I did used to see it often in my choir classes. The instrument was invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori, in the 1700s. The instrument was created thanks to innovations in the world of keyboard instruments. The Pipe Organ had already been around for quite a couple of centuries. The precursor of the piano was the hammered dulcimers.

Anime Girl Playing the Stroh Violin
The Stroh Violin looks like the love child of the Violin and the Trumpet. All joking aside, I am going to tell you a little something about this fun looking instrument.

I hope you find this information useful. This...
Faena Theater Tryst Review
For my mother’s birthday, she wanted to go see the show Tryst in Faena. We normally go see one show from the theater per year. We got seats as far back as possible. The theater is pretty small. So, a far away seat does not matter much. Our chairs were worth 90 bucks a piece. We got these seats because we wanted to eat as well. On the way to the theater, we saw what had become of Miami Beach. The road to it has become super confusing. Just getting to Miami Beach was a hassle. The roads twisted...
