@gillinghamkent I think it is Fly me to the Moon to Jupiter and Mars

[MrThespazman]

@jthornejnr that is correct but that is the second tune

[Wnoronz]

It would be nice if they could get the real grand piano attachment working again. So much better than that clanking clattering thing that sounds so much out of place!

[MrThespazman]

@Wnoronz i know what you mean that old piano used to sound great they need to get that back

kind regards

The old piano is still in the back and I was told is still able to be connected to the Wurlitzer. I agree that the electronic piano sometimes sounds horrid. Its to loud

[MrThespazman]

@Spectraman3849 defiantly bring back the old piano

thanks for the comment
