The absolute worst thing a person can do to a piano is to not allow it to be used.

@pkz420 Ай бұрын

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.

@cliffthatcher4574 Ай бұрын

@@pkz420 That's not my point... I say not using a piano is the worst thing for it because it deteriorates more quickly when allowed to remain idle.

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.

Brendan your piano performing skills are extraordinary I loved the way all the classical pieces blended together started with the Hamlet theme from a cigar advert that used to be shown on television in the UK in the 1970's Claire De Lune and Greensleeves plus a few others The staircase was used in the Spice Girls video Wannabee . The hotel is called The Midland Hotel and its next door to King's Cross and St Pancreas Station in London. Have you thought of releasing a CD like Terry Miles ?

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.

@hughbasham4389 Ай бұрын

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!

@Kenob6 Ай бұрын

After you said you were going to play the piano "very very softly" I was expecting a full volume boogie woogie performance (that would have been great). Instead, I got this beautiful repertoire of classic pieces. Pretty sure the hotel would pay you to perform like that. Never change, Dr. K!
