They are the one thing in the world (other than tea) that is a purely selfish pleasure of mine.
Ever since I learnt to play when I was 7, I have loved them, I still love them now. Playing them genuinely makes me feel comforted in the saddest moments and intensify the best. I would recommend anyone who is thinking of learning to do it. They are also the reason I believe I am good at bouldering, and opening jars. Hands of Zeus. :) I have a Kawai upright mahogany piano - I miss it so much when I work away, which is all the time (as always) that is the only down side to a piano I'd say. It's not mobile like a saxophone or violin or guitar etc. But what a pleasure when you can spend time with them and play.
Here's a piece of piano music that I love for its simplicity and utter satisfaction when playing it.
French musician Yann Tiersen, Comptine D'un Autre Ete (featured on the Amelie soundtrack)

This one above is one of the many old but wonderful pianos in the Roy Hart Centre (France)
And this one above is the same as the one which belongs to me.
Piano love.
