A few weeks of listening to kids and tourists messing around with it might change your mind. It's one thing for it to be used to play music. It's something different when it is boredom relief. There's only so many times you can hear 'chopsticks' before it becomes painful.

I was in a hotel in Chicago and I was playing the piano in the lobby…within 30 seconds I was stopped by one of the employees. I said “It’s not furniture, it’s an instrument.” I’m always jealous of Brendan in these places because in the US, I’ve been stopped from playing at almost every piano I touch. It’s like we’re allergic to the use of public pianos.

We have them in the Netherlands, it says 'only for advanced player' or 'alleen voor gevorderde pianisten' in Dutch. I encountered one last week. It was played beautifully by an elderly gentleman. He invited me to play a bit but I was so nervous I got stuck halfway each song although I know them well enough. Not a fan of that kind of signs though. An advanced pianist at a piano is great, but I prefer a more kid-friendly approach. It so nice to see young children play.

Brendon love your classical music and you playing softly, please play more on this piano 👏👏🎹

I'm sure that lonely piano appreciate you for playing!

Acoustics not bad, but we rather over-gilded the Bach lily did we not? I attended the first viewing of the hotel circa 2012, when they had just done the entranceway and first floor. You could see how wonderful it might end up and they have done a fine job. It had previously been destroyed and neglected. Now a fabulous restoration and the bar on the right hand side is a great place to meet before you travel or to collect a visitor from Paris on the way into London. If only they had you to serenade their guests......worth another £100 a night!
