- Summary
- COI synopsis: There was a time when a piano in the parlour was as commonplace as today’s television in the lounge. Yet, miraculously, the old Joanna has survived the threat of mass entertainment, and its sleek and modern counterparts are back in demad. This week, Michele Brown takes a look at this unique industry, and meets someone who can put the piano through its paces from Chopin to Scott Joplin - musician and broadcaster Steve Race.
