the or a
In Japanese school they teach that play a piano is wrong, that it should be played the piano.
However, I have an impression that as an answer to a question "What did he play at the concert?", "He played a piano" is possible and even more natural than "He played the piano". Am I wrong?

article "the" with a proper nown
Usually article "the" does not go with a proper noun. I wonder if it is possible e.g. in the following situation.
Someone asks a group of people.
Who is George Washington?

the usage of the word 'could'
I learned on this site that the word 'could' cannot be used in a sentence like the below:
I could buy a ticket yesteday. (I was able to buy a ticket yesterday)
However I found the following sentence by a respectable author:
I could buy a cup of coffee for a dollar this morning, since I got a coupon in the mail.
Is this sentence correct? If so, then why?

"good luck" or "a good luck"
An author who is native English(American) writes in a book on English grammar:
Yebisu(brandname of beer), the legendary character, brings you a good luck.
I(the author) am always disappointed at this catchphrase.....
"a good luck" sounds very weird since "good luck" is not a thing but an abstract idea....
(sorry for my poor translation)
Is this catchphrase that weird?
I read so often the expression "I wish you a good luck"
If this is okay, why the other isn't?
