In May 2023, I visited Florence with my now-girlfriend to tell her I loved her. We stayed for a few days in a cozy AirB&B, and it turned out the host was a well-known pianist. There were two pianos in the apartment, one of which was in our bedroom.
After a long day of walking around, eating amazing food, and taking in the beauty of the city, I finally asked her if she would be my girlfriend. Her answer? “Duh, of course.” It was the happiest I’ve ever felt.
That night, while she was in the shower getting ready for bed, I took the chance to quickly sample the Yamaha U1 piano in our room with the Zoom H1 I brought along. I didn’t want to disturb the neighbors or seem too strange, so I kept it simple—no round robins, just one dynamic, and wide intervals. It’s nothing fancy, but it means a lot to me.
