I’ve been to 27 painos..This one was by far the worst.

This piano had one of the best paint jobs I had seen, but it was horribly out of tune. And even on a Sunday morning, the very closed and locked arts center had a speaker playing Sunday Baroque right above me. I gritted my teeth and played it anyway, since I was determined to play them all, but the result was a little too 20th century chaotic for my tastes. I also tried to play along to the radio, but G and G sharp were about equally far from the key of whatever concerto WGUC was playing.

I hope they can get this one into better tune and I can play it again before all is over– and that they shut off the speaker above the piano.

I loved the painting on this one (the IPOD theme), but it’s frankly wasted. There were many bad notes, way off key, just clangy and bangy and quite disappointing.

It only sounded any decent at all in the high end; above G above middle C.

The paint job is quite cool, however. It’s the hip hop piano, but it’s tore up.

Even though it was out ‘on the street’ the Arts Center was blaring radio broadcast classical music, and I could play along somewhat, but between the racket and the condition of thie instrument, it wasn’t too thrilling to try to play anything.

Harrison is trying to play every piano. After 10 days in Florida, he is back. This is piano number 3.

Eighteenth stop…The Madisonville Arts Center, or more affectionately known as “The MAC.” The piano was horribly out of tune, but otherwise felt okay. Great paint job! Couldn’t stay long because I was alone with my two boys…don’t want them playing in traffic!

I just love what they did to our old piano! It is so beautiful! This piano was in our family for 40 years and I am so glad that Cincinnati did this, what a great new life for the old girl. My girls just love it and so do I!

This one was really pretty.
