‘Chopsticks’ in London?

If you are visiting London soon and are a bit of a piano artist, you might look for one of the 30 pianos being installed in and around the streets of London.

Piano companies are providing the instruments to “Sing London,” and they afford a place for piano players to take a seat and plink away to their hearts’ content.

Visiting the mayor’s office at London’s City Hall? You can whack out a tune on a Baldwin upright marked with the logo, “Play Me, I’m Yours.”

Ever have the desire to give a concert in Leicester Square? Or how ‘bout a recital near the Bank of England? There’s one for you to play at both locations. Impromptu play is encouraged, and more-accomplished pianists are invited to showcase performances at the other 27 sited.

And if you’re not sure what you want to play, a songbook is attached to each piano.

So … practice your “Chopsticks” and I’ll see you in London!
