Venues and pianos

I was discussing some possible concerts today and we were saying how much more we could do if the venue concerned had a decent piano.  There are so few churches and halls now, it seems, with pianos.  If they have an instrument it is often a very old piano, sadly not up to concert standard, or a digital instrument which is never the same as playing on a real, good quality acoustic piano.  However, having a decent instrument can be a great investment.  It means the venue can be used for all kinds of concerts, exams, master classes, rehearsal space... and for churches the instrument can also be used in their regular worship.  I do understand that many halls and churches are under a lot of financial pressure but I do hope that maybe more venues will realise the benefits of having instruments up to concert standard and consider fundraising towards this.
