No more music from this pub piano.
I took these photos on March 28 2017 when I saw the forlorn remains of this piano at the Duck & Drake pub, Kirkgate. Sadly the piano has clearly seen better days. I don't know the Duck & Drake but I assume the piano was once played in the pub but it (the piano ) fell into disrepair sometime back (possibly years?). The first photo shows the piano and tables. The second is a zoomed-in view of the piano (the presence of the pink wellington boots also made me ).

Hello Leodian,
Possibly this old "Johanna" is the one that was there from the old days when the pub was the Broughams Arms and a piano was pounded every lunch time seven days and there were singers (usually Market employees) who by midday had done a days work so were ready for a few pints and a bit of relaxation.

In regard to pub pianos I have just come across a 'Piano playing in Kirkgate pubs' thread started by John Ramsden on December 19 2015 http://secretleeds.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5937. The thread has a mention of the Duck & Drake/Broughams Arms/The Brooms pub.

I went to The Duck and Drake last night. They have a new piano now. I played a couple of tunes on it? It is OK
