Piano in train stations

on: February 07, 2015, 12:26:44 PM

Hello,

Here in France the SNCF (the national railway company) decided to put pianos in every big train stations.
With that there was a contest, with some winners in every region.

Just to share this with you. I find this really exciting, and was wondering if there are such initiatives in other countries.

I think its a very very nice idea! Actually I was in Paris this summer and played on several railway station pianos. Unfortenuately they were horrible untuned.
