Manchester Victoria's piano hasn't been there for a few years now.

But there are two at Picadilly

London Bridge now has an organ. If only Hans Zimmer can pop by...

Hans Zimmer? Please noooooo!

But some stations with a harpsichord and Bach ....

It's thanks to Hans Zimmer that some of my favourite music sounds the way it does, especially when it comes to guitar samples!

Arnhem (Netherlands)
Most if not all of the Paris main line termini (Gare du Nord, Gare de l'Est, Gare de Lyon etc)

Sheffield

Not since before the Covid pandemic. The ones at some other stations such as St Pancras have since returned (or been unlocked if they were left in situ but locked during the pandemic) but not the ones at Sheffield (where for a time there used to be two).

I can't say I've seen the one at Sheffield for a while.

I saw the piano at Leamington Spa being tuned a couple of weeks ago, Don't know if Chiltern pay for it or maybe the friends of the station do, anyone know?

There's a few about - apparently a lot of them are in need of retuning though according to those that play them!

I should imagine it's almost impossible to keep them in tune with variations in temperature and humidity.*

*I know absolutely nothing about pianos or playing music at all and am rather jealous of my 8 year old son who started tinkling the ivory in July and can now play Fur Elise and The beginning of Moonlight Sonata amongst other things (and they actually sound good!).

Selhurst
