Hell no! To begin, I shall say no more than this: the piano is not a pretty nice instrument—it is an ugly perversion of the harpsichord (and the clavichord). I would not be overly surprised if one told me he has never heard of the harpsichord because the pro-piano indoctrination efforts have been incredibly successful over the past few decades. The harpsichord is far more natural, far more looking like something man would make: it produces an unaltered, happy, radiant sound; the mechanics thereof are not as odd as in the piano (I will briefly outline that later); low weight is appreciated in the harpsichord, for excess weight (as seen in the piano) kills the simplicity aspect of any instrument; finally, the harpsichord has a great appearance, into which a hell of a lot of effort was put. Take a look:

As I once wrote in a school essay that no one therein has dared to challenge, "The piano […] is the instrument of the devil—its box-like shape reminiscent of the alienated Industrial Revolution, its only colours, black and white, characteristic of sadness and meaninglessness, and the sound, the goddamn sound! In my humble apprehension […] no Child of God shall ever suffer from hearing the profoundly depressing, repugnant and terrifying sound that comes out of this demonic instrument!"
Reviewing the essay now after half a year, I regret writing it the way I did; I should have also criticized the hammers in the piano. So, for the curious ones, the piano perverts the beautiful, clear string sound of a harpsichord or a clavichord by, among other things, striking the string very slightly with a hammer whose head is made out of a soft material (usually felt). It sounds unnatural, does it not? But what would one expect from the maniacs who dedicated their pathetic lives to disrupting a centuries-old music tradition by making this depressing instrument, which was specifically designed to allow exaggerated emotional performances, unnecessary movements of no purpose, pounding the keyboard as if the player jumped from a two-story building on it, and just about everything else apart from actually playing good music.

My pleasure, Sir, but make no mistake about it: this is not merely an opinion, but a self-evident truth, which must be spread until there is no man left unaware of the glory of the harpsichord.
More importantly, though, I would like to say to you goodbye and wish you good luck in life, some of your forum posts were entertaining.
Very truly yours,
Teracerus

In principle, yes, but unlike Badlion, the piano has done a pretty bad job at it.
