Why We Play (the Piano) by Ben Klinger is an easy, quick (60 minute read) yet rich and insightful book about the process of buying a piano. Mr. Klinger has succeeded in writing a book that demonstrates that the process of buying a piano is a journey into the exploration of pianos, where variety of character and sound quality is parallel to the enormous diversity of personalities in the human race.
It is clear that for Mr. Klinger, buying a piano is not about buying a thing to own, it is about starting an adventure into a never-ending world of sound, that can be done at your own pace, and is always worth your time. His perception on purchasing a piano is not, "What is the piano worth?" Mr. Klinger challenges you to ask, "How much worth can you discover in the piano?"
