Room rules

Usual "polite" behaviour. Return borrowed music where you found it... Mask coming and going, toilet access currently requires re-entry via basement (detail below), 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. Please wear masks when inside the house, except when in playing room with door closed. 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

It was great to be able to practise on such a lovely piano in a room so clearly dedicated to music. I really enjoyed my piano fix and everything went smoothly exactly as George had outlined. It was much easier to find the place I expected also!

Don't come during dinner time! The piano room is next to the canteen. I was there 7:30-8:30 pm and listened to the sound of people talking and eating, forks and knives, and dishwashing for the whole period! It was a nice environment but it was really an unpleasant experience. I traveled 1.5 hours to go there...
