Play me!


As part of the Hat Fair a number of pianos have been left around Winchester for people to play. I have been learning to play for about 6 months and I am finding it virtually impossible to do a different thing with each hand! However it seemed like there were a lot of people in Winchester who could play pretty well, including a couple of very young children who started drawing crowds!

  1. We had that here, nearby in Bury St. Edmunds a couple of years ago. Wherever you walked you could hear a piano tinkling away, it was great. My son gathered up quite a crowd. I suppose they have to wait a few years until they can do it again, when they can build up another stock of elderly pianos!

  2. If only I was one of those who can play. A nice thing for the community!

  3. Trusting souls aren't they?

    If those pianos had been left in the grotty town where I live they would have disappeared in the night!

    Last month my patio table and chairs vanished in the night. Could it have been the fairies do you think?

    Sorry I'm a bit negative today, but it's rained all day.

  5. What an amazing idea. I first thought it was street art, but how cool the town leaves them there to play.

  7. I did have a little go but seeing as I am not even Grade 1 yet...!

    Just to say that the pianos weren't left out overnight, they were only there for 1 day...that is unless they were all stolen overnight like Keith's table & chairs!
