East Japan Railway (JR East) have launched their latest “Joyful Train” service – the Shiki-Shima.

The lounge bar, of course, features a piano, in this case a Yamaha N2, part of the AvantGrand series. This is an obvious choice for such a role as it is one of the best digital pianos around, it has a great sound, feels good to play and is both compact and contemporary in styling.

That is why about 75 people, most of them strangers, showed up at the corner of Main and Gibbs streets — right in front of the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music — to paint four enormous keyboards on the morning of 23 June 2019. Before the paint was dry, the community and social media were celebrating the work.

One traveller commented: My friends and i went to Gapyeong for a weekend visit and stopped at a few places on the way. The piano falls was the best out of the three places we stopped. Here is a quick run down for you...

1. Its free
2. Its a nice waterfall that you can see from a distance
3. It has according to some Korean sites one of the top 10 toilets in Korea. The toilets are in a building that looks like a piano.

4. There is a small market if you want to get some snacks
5. Max 30 minutes in and out unless you want to go hiking. It has some trails but we didn't do them.

Overall a nice little stop for some pictures.

Game of Thrones and composer Ramin Djawadi do not usually enlist the services of the piano. Djawadi instead prefers sweeping pieces performed by an orchestra to match the epic scale of the HBO fantasy series. Take its iconic theme music: Only the rich strings, pounding drums, and blaring brass of a full orchestra can do that justice.

At the end of last week’s big battle episode, however, Djawadi knew that the moment called for something different. “Having gone through all this battle music, you get to that point with the piano and it’s just really sad, once you hear the piano you think, ‘This is it, it’s over for our beloved characters,'”
