Bad Piano Challenge


Many of us have played with despair on some pretty bad pianos which are frequently found in churches, schools, theaters, bars, restaurants and college practice rooms.   I'd like to encourage or challenge everyone to share a video celebrating some of the clunkers you've had the challenge to play.

This sleeping beauty which brought a certain dimension of challenge was found in the basement of a church in upstate NY.  I was able to coax these two tunes our of her.  She is an old Knabe with uneven action and has the gift of sometimes playing two tones with one hammer.
