Piano Stairs Video

A Swedish train company wanted to get more people to use the stairs rather than the escalator.
This entertaining video shows how they did it!

It’s really amazing how they came up with this idea.
I think this should be implemented across every train station in the UK.

Let me know what you think.

Graham,

Great video, thanks for that, that was really fun to see.

I miss my digital piano so much when I am at work that I decided to build my own virtual piano so I can still practise, ha, ha, ha.

That was amazing! should do something like that here. Kids (and adults) would be on there for hours and good exercise as well!

Listen Graham, if people go tripping the light fantastic on the stairs they may well come a cropper.
I thought pianos were for meaningful tones not meaningless. Actually I prefer stairs to escalators.
Seen some nasty things on escalators, so if the novelty encourages safer journeys, why not.
I’m always amazed at how ingenious people’s minds are, and that’s not a bad thing I guess.

“Hi Graham- What a brilliant idea! Trust the bloody Swedes to come up with it. What a way to keep fit! Just ‘play’ a Chopin piano sonata, and you’d lose several kilos in a ‘sitting’!”

I have had a stressful day and YES it did cheer me up no end! I would have been playing

Hi graham
Funny enough as part of my research buying a piano I came across the video… Not looked at your link but pretty sure it’ll be the same one … Hilarious and v effective making people use the stairs, the healthy option!
Did you see my piano stairs movie I made on Facebook?
Let me know if you’re on fb and I’ll send you a link
Thanks for reminding me about Swedish musical stairs!

What fun, Graham. Thank you for sending me the video!
It would certainly make people more fit as well as give them a cheery life in the mornings or evenings.

I have been enjoying my piano playing – when I can. Thank you for keeping in touch.

Many thanks for such an original and fascinating video. It did however leave me with the uneasy impression that those people using the staircase were better piano players than me.
My fingers are not what they were. However, so long as one has fun!
Nice to hear from you. All the best,

Ian
