Piano Stairs Put Subway Buskers Out Of Business
By Andrew Liszewski
Call me pessimistic, but I’m not sure if I’d find the sound of a giant BIG-esque piano particularly soothing while waiting for the subway. But that’s exactly what the people of Nanjing in the Jiangsu province of China now have to deal with. Each step of the giant piano staircase produces a different note, so presumably if you worked anywhere nearby you’d just be hearing the scales being played all day long. And I do appreciate that it encourages people to take the stairs, but not to be left out I think that escalator running along side it should sound like a giant slide whistle.
