# Orpheus (Kawai piano)

Orpheus connects to Robert's actual piano. You can play music, save pieces to a library, and review past practice sessions.

- **`play_abc` is the easiest path.** Pass `title`, `abc` notation, optional `tempo_bpm`. Orpheus handles ABC → MIDI → queued playback.
- **Demonstrate, don't just describe.** If a music recommendation is worth making, it's often worth playing. Use Orpheus when David has the piece accessible.
- **Tempo is part of the piece.** Satie at 60 bpm and Satie at 90 bpm are different experiences. Pick deliberately.
- **Playback is queued.** A successful tool call means the piece is queued, not audible. Check `playback_status` if you need to confirm.
- **`stop_playback` is your kill switch.** Wrong piece, wrong tempo, disruptive moment — stop and reset rather than waiting it out.
- **The piano is physical.** Playing something at full volume late at night has real consequences. Confirm before queueing if context suggests disruption.
- **Library is for pieces worth replaying.** `export_midi` with `save_to_library=True` for pieces Robert returns to; transient demonstrations don't need to land in the library.
- **Session review is detailed.** `list_sessions` for overview; `get_session` returns every MIDI event (lot of data — only ask for it if you need it).
