Do you think piano people are nicer ?

Very interesting observation!
I'm not sure, but maybe one could say this generally about musicians?!?
(I don't know, though, I haven't been much round bassists' forums so far... )

Anyway, let's start a fight about this...

From my experience, some open music forums (other than this one and perhaps one dealing specifically with my soundcard) are not terribly nice places at times.

I won't name one forum I spent much time on a few years ago (it deals with the software products of one company) but one reason I don't go there is because there is too much sarcasm and at times open hostility.  I was there yesterday and again today, and one of the hot topics is "does anyone know who this is suggesting suicide?"  Nice eh?  (btw, I rephrased the title so as to make it hard to trace).

I am registered with seven music forums and ten photography forums.  Pianoteq is easily the most well behaved and civil forum of the bunch.  And the photo forums are OK for the most part.

No, musicians can be a nasty bunch - too many egos perhaps.

Pianists don't have egos - do we?

Well, I refered about piano people, pianists and persons who try to play despite be not a pianist itself.

About musicians in general,  uhhnnn...  It makes remamber the music school I used to went.  There was a very gossipy teacher who use tell the dark side of all his fellows, like who played horrible, who was the bitches, the freaks, the fakes. 
There was history about a violinist teacher who attack a pianist teacher by taking his neck, after drunk too much, cause the pianist would not aloow hin play drunk in a wending.  The violinist'class was weird, he was a angry guy, and his students looked like sexual abused kids, like had fear of hin or something.
Once I politely approached hin and asked about difference in nomenclature, since violin is called violin in classic field, and it's called fiddle in country music, and he replied with a sarcastic face:  "I don't know and I don't want to know."

Anyway many people hide their sarcastic side in usual day byday life, but internet removes the veil by giving a mask.  On internet people are thousands miles away, have a "security mask" and feel free to show a side they would not show in general (remove the veil).  If someone is nice he will be even nicer without fear. But if someone is hostile, envy, or paranoiac, he will reveil this dark side too.

On Youtube I see all the time how people can be hostile just for pleasure, or to relieve frustration.  People who appears from nothing and start to offend you like a devil.  Lost generation ???
But when the thematic it's piano, I get surprised how people are better, kind, nicer.

Well, I never searched much about singers...   :-)

good analogy shumas...

no matter what style music you like, when you play the piano you still have to be "musical".  you can't fake it like you can with crunch style/ heavy metal guitar playing- where distortion and speed are more important than musicality.  the piano can be very unforgiving to those who step outside their own talents to show off.  it is a very complex instrument.

so i think the pursuit of that wonderful sound helps lift all of us from our own pettiness and prejudices.  Piano knows no politics- there are no words to hide behind, no clever message to obscure the poor voice or poor melody.  its just the music your fingers and your mind produces.  it must stand on its own.

I have tremendous respect for those who play violins, horns, etc.  but in reality they usually must depend on others to complete their "music".  a pianist can be a true soloist, can express the melody and the harmony himself, point and counterpart all on his own, can truly expose his soul to others with no one else to protect him or prop him up.  that isn't easy, and i think we all respect that, and we all respect others who sense the beauty in that, no matter how "different" they may be from us as individuals...

Exactly. This reminds me of an brilliant little routine that Seinfeld did about how ladies impress the men, and how men impress the ladies. The ladies can do all kinds of things to make themselves look attractive. However, the men can't do much at all, so they have to go to great lengths to try and get the ladies' attention, such as building the tallest building, or going to the moon, etc. ;^) "Look - I designed that building - me!"  I guess we can include piano playing, however that didn't get a mention. ;^)

Well, who would expect that Susan Boyle, the short chubby middle age lady, with a friendly smile and beautiful voice&talent, would react that way when she lost the competition.

Surely, it always depends on the people.

However, I insist that, generally, there is a certain tendency...

LOL

Either you are right and there were no intelligent people here before, or you are right because what you said wasn't nice although you play the piano...
Seriously, I think we didn't talk about moral until now. The embodiment of evil, Hitler, loved children (at least if they met his sick ideas of race), and when he played with them, they would have called him nice. The world is full of people doing monstrous things but who are nice to others who don't suffer from what they do.
Finally let me say I'm sure nobody here thinks the postulation contained in the headline is valid for everybody.
So you are right about the absence of any correlation between playing the piano and moral, but this is just an incidental remark, if not off-topic, and doesn't prove people who play the piano are not nicer.
Have an, um, nice day!
