I have. I can't say we have played it very much! We also have the one with the rebuilt piano (I think)

Thanks

Does he indeed! Must be well fit then! Wish my dh would give me a crescendo every now and then!

Nope, as far as I remember it's just the sound of opening the piano, a long silence and then the sound of closing the piano. I don't think we have it any more, but we do have other CDs with silent tracks, and it can work really well.

Thanks

I reckon that's where Song Catchers (on Cbeebies) got their idea from - listening to the sounds around and making music from it
