Piano 49

Piano 49 was captured in the restaurant at the Langham Hotel in Portland Place, the one in Marylebone that is, not the one behind East Street, here in Epsom. The first stringed piano from Kawai and only the second one altogether, the first having been captured more than two years ago in Dorset and noticed at reference 3. More or less at the beginning of the series.

A grand of modest dimensions, probably the first blue one, although dark enough that it looked black from the right angle. Perhaps a piano of the Kawai GL series which Bing suggests might be had for a little over £11,000.

We were told that it would be used later on in the afternoon, to entertain customers taking afternoon tea. I dare say an improvement on the discrete musak that we had during lunch.
