"Street pianos" have been placed on the 16th St. Mall here in Denver, also, but they're all such beaters, and I mean dogs, that no serious pianist could stand to play on them for more than 30 seconds. <br>--David Nereson, RPT<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Returning from a visit to London for the Dan levitan study day at Steinway Hall, I went to St Pancras station (a wonderful, beautifully restored edifice, google it folks) and saw the two pianos
there, part of the streetpianos initiative that I had heard of but forgotten. I took this photo, and you can see other pics and video clips here
