VIDEO: Dirk and I go piano shopping!
Dirk’s been in the market for a piano for quite some time. The only chance he gets to play these days is on the Steinway at his parents’ house in Maine. (There’s a video of him playing it here.) But that’s an hour and half away, and as a composer, he really needs to have a piano at the ready so he can create whenever his muse calls him. So… we’re going piano shopping!
Ideally we’d get something called a hybrid, which is a digital piano with a mechanical mechanism. They’re small enough to fit in our house but still sound beautiful, plus the digital functionality would allow him to play with headphones, which would really come in handy (we have downstairs neighbors). They’re really pricey, though… the one he really likes is listed at $15,000. We’re also looking at straight-up digital pianos, which are a lot less expensive (the good ones range from $2,500 to about $6,000), then we’d eventually trade up. The important thing, I think, is just to get a keyboard in the house. Then I have a feeling we’ll start seeing a lot more compositions like these. Time to start saving money… or perhaps find a rich benefactor. Volunteers, anyone?
Sell co-workers spots in you porn productions. Market us regular guy and you’ll make that money in no time….and us guys will enjoy giving up our funds!
That was great! The man can play! The is a keeper! I know the both of U will get a good piano.
It has a beautiful sound and you can tell Dirk has amazing talent! I hope he can eventually get the piano he wants. You two are so perfect together. I had never believed in soul mates until you and Dirk. You guys are definitely soul mates and it’s so beautiful to see. Thanks for sharing pieces of your lives with all of us.

The only time I saw a bigger smile was my school’s piNo professor at the Steinway store in NY.
Sigh. If I had the money, Dirk…..
Dirk is such an amazing entertainer. I.haven’t played in years. Always loved playing. Hope he’s able to find the piano he wants without going into major debt to get one. Thanks for sharing the video. Love your expression Dirk.
That looks like the Yamaha and I agree, it is AMAZING! Yamaha’s are my favorite!
Porn don’t make that kind of money?
Not anymore. It doesn’t pay as well as it used to.
