Room rules
Usual "polite" behaviour. Return borrowed music where you found it... Mask coming and going, toilet access isin basement and requires reentry via main front door (detail below). Not entirel standard, but it seems to work (SFAIK) Covid Precautions: My wife is extremely vulnerable: Therefore all attendees must wash their hands on arrival, regardless of whether or what instrument they are playing. This requires ringing the bell in the entrance porch and coming down to the basement via the outside steps and returning to the front door by the same route to access the piano room (note 2). Once returned to the front door, please go direct into the piano room through the inner hallway; if you need further assistance, please go outside and use the bell. Visitors must either be in-date double (or booster) vaccinated or have had a recent (last 24 hours) negative lateral flow test. Please do not come if you have possible symptoms - even if test is negative (we will arrange a refund if necessary). Possible occasional disruption: Rarely, my wife and her carers are the only people in the house. The carers may (even more rarely) be busy looking after my wife and unable to answer the door for a few minutes. If there is no reply, please ring the bell again after a couple of minutes (and then again). If there is no answer after about five minutes it may mean that something is amiss - please forgive us. (Fortunately this has only happened once so far - and for a different reason that we have corrected) Thank you for your tolerance Notes: 1) My wife and the carers are in the adjacent room, and sound-proofing is imperfect. We can usually manage periods of quiet for people wishing to record - please ask. Unfortunately we can't control the road, so you may need to leave time for re-recording if this is a problem 2) You are welcome to arrive a few minutes early so you have time to wash your hands before going up to the piano room

This room is exceptional. The Steinway model B piano is kept in tune with a lovely tone. The owner is pleasant and accommodating. If you’re a pianist, this is the ideal practice facility in the area. I can see the room as being perfect for small chamber ensembles too. The décor is lovely too. Simply second do none, highly recommended!
