“We want people to treat the piano nicely, as they would a piano in their own home, to enjoy the songbooks with care and to cover the piano when it rains.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cover the piano when it rains? You mean some of these pianos will be OUTSIDE for 3 wks? Hmmmm... they should sound interesting with London weather!

They also mention that the pianos will be decorated according to the location. Another Hmmmmm!

The originator, Luke Jerram, not the mayor, posts here:

Apparently this was done in other cities of the world.

And this is a followup from what was done in Birmingham in 2008.

"August 2008. The final remaining Birmingham piano was taken to an allotment where its new owner is growing vegetables and cress inside its frame."

I think I saw a picture of that one!

In NYC we've had decorated cows and decorated "big apples" in years past. Nothing recent I know of.
