On the subject of the “Amenities” list, I wonder if “piano” is one of the homeowner choices under “Entertainment.” If it isn’t, perhaps it could be. I have super “piano-vision” when I look at photos, but it would be easier if it were listed. I mean, it’s great to have an iron, I guess, but try playing Beatles tunes on that…

I’m keen for a toaster anytime. Piano is no use to me

There are many HOs with pianos that are available for the sitter to play.
I was invited for a private tour of the Royal Yacht Britannia in Edinburgh where there is a piano in a private room. I thought that would make a great photo opportunity of Mr Itchyfeet and me pretending to play. I used it as our main photo when joining THS.
The amount of invitations we received with HOs inviting us to play their Steinway, Yamaha or similar piano was extraordinary. After being embarrassed at explaining each time that neither of us could play a note, I took the photo down.

Doubt THS would add such a feature, because it’s not commonly in demand vs. say a microwave or such.
I haven’t played anything since high school, but have had sits with grand pianos. The cats enjoyed “playing” them.

Now there’s a genius idea, Itchyfeet–a photo! Thank you! I do drop the hint in my profile that I’ve occasionally deigned to look after dogs, when a piano was on offer. (All cats, all the time, for me. =^..^= )

“Dad, do you know the piano’s on my foot?”
“You hum it son, I’ll play it”.

Not understanding how a piano can end up on someone’s foot, and in the unlikely event that it did, how a person could react so casually rather than screaming in agony.
Hahaha! 
What’s the difference between a fish and a piano? You can’t tuna fish.

Hi @Maryanne
I have just seen a listing in Oxford UK with the following:
You are welcome to play our baby grand piano anytime and if you want to borrow another instrument (cello, violin, guitar), just let us know first

Thanks for the message. Oh, what a gig! Though a cynic might paraphrase it as “we can’t pop the baby grand in a case, so you can play it, but ask Mum or Dad before you unwrap the other instruments.”

I would absolutely love both!! All my east coast sits only had toaster ovens vs a toaster. Now I never knew how much I appreciate a real toaster! Having a piano is an extra treat, though the pets would probably howl at my feeble attempts to play!
My husband has been learning the piano and he brought a portable practice keyboard with him during an Asia trip we took about a month ago. He used it with a headset, so he spared everyone, including me. I was especially grateful, because we were cruising during part of the time and that involved close quarters.
