Comments on: Jungle Jims International Market http://www.streetpianos.com/cincinnati2010 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 02:28:21 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sharon Down http://www.streetpianos.com/cincinnati2010/pianos/jungle-jims#comment-773 Sharon Down Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:47:21 +0000 http://www.streetpianos.com/cincinnati2010/?page_id=1186#comment-773 This one gave me an opportunity to introduce my husband to the wonders of Jungle Jim's. The piano itself was in great shape, but the location was, as others have pointed out, a bit noisy. I just played it again at Miami University today, though, and that spot is much quieter. I just hope the instrument holds up out in the open like it is there. This photo taken 8-21-10 during the rainy Road Trip. <!-- image_comment_id: 594 --> This one gave me an opportunity to introduce my husband to the wonders of Jungle Jim’s.

Too bad it's not accessible 24/7 like so many others. It was a bit of a noisy spot.

It is really fine condition, has super tone, and, in it's present location is relatively protected from the sun and the elements, so it sould stay in pretty good shape! It's one of the better ones around, to be sure. The worst thing about teh whole deal is that this great piano is in a location where the owners have chosen to pipe in music and advertising, so it's really just adds to the cacophony. I appreciate that many, many people will get a chance to play, but, I think we'd be better served by having it in a location where the music can be heard clearly and appreciated, rather than just part of the cacophony of noise that is the international (American) shopping market. Still, super, super piano, with a cute little stool and a great paint job! I enjoyed playing it immensely; it's just that "Madison Avenue" mentality of bombarding the senses of shoppers with constant noise detracts from the enjoyment that could be realized from this instrument.
