Challenge your eyes and fingers by throwing in some unfamiliar accidentals.

D-Flat Major Practice Scales
The key of D-flat major/B-flat minor has 5 flats:

New SEARCH Function
We have added a new Search box to Piano World and the Forums.
The original search built into the UBB (forums software) is still available. But, because the ubb search is not very efficient (in the way it looks up requests) it tends to run very slow. It can also slow down the forums overall. For this reason we limited the built in search to a couple of years. However, the new search (provided by Google) includes everything with no time limit.

I posted about the new search in a thread, still open for discussions and comments. New Search Function

This does not replace the original search that comes with our UBB. In fact I expect the built in search to be much improved when version 8.0 of the ubb is finally released, hopefully sometime this fall.
Concert Pianist Practicing at Home
Our own concert pianist / forums member Jeffrey Biegel posted a few videos of himself practing the piano at home.
It's fun to watch and listen to him in a relaxed setting, dressed casual and just enjoying himself.

Interesting Stats
Some interesting stats about Piano World. This site (clearwebstats.com) shows a summary of traffic, pages indexed, etc., and approximates a value (not that I'd ever consider selling for their price).
New PW Stats & Comparisons

How Does XYZ Web Site Compare With... The site can show you web stats for just about any site you want.

If you were thinking of advertising on Piano World, this is a good way to compare our stats with other piano/music related sites. Simply enter the url of the site you want to check (without the www) and check the stats.
I don't think their valuations of sites is realistic, but the traffic and link numbers seem factual.
Piano Parties!
Piano Party in NY? NY Piano Party
Come on folks, I remember when NY used to have lots of piano parties, both big and small.

What is a Piano Forums Piano Party?
It's when members get together with other members (and their non-member spouses/friends/neighbors) to share their common bond - - the piano.
Most piano parties are held at a members home. Typically everyone brings something to the festivities (food, drink, etc.). And everyone takes turns playing the piano(s).
Pictures are a must! We love to see pictures and hear the stories.

Like to see some good examples? Check out this area on the forums... Forums Members Parties, Tours, & Cruises

And while you are checking things out, check out our Fun Stuff category. Most of the posts in here are off topic, but they're fun!

Interesting and/or Fun Stuff
Miscellaneous stuff that didn't exactly fit any other categories...
Please note, any piano manufacturers or other businesses mentioned in this section did NOT pay for the mention, I just found the stuff interesting and wanted to share.

A Cool Toy That Plays the Notes as you lay them on a table.
