[pianotech] 50 pianos in NYC

[Robert Wilson]

Yes, we did that in London.  It was something of a novelty, but the ones I heard being played sounded as if they hadn't been tuned for many years!  they would have been ideal for accompanying silent films!

Didn't London do this a year or two ago,
or was I dreaming?

[pianotech] 50 pianos in NYC








I just read a short article in today's newspaper stating
that 50 pianos will be placed around New York City for the public to play
whenever they felt like it. Sounds like fun. I was just wondering if any
NYC techs know where the pianos will be coming from (brands) and who will
be tuning them (I assume several techs). Just curious.



Here's a link to more info and maps of their locations: http://www.streetpianos.com/nyc2010/
Note that this website says 60 pianos rather than 50 as the newspaper article
says.
