Wow – what a great idea. Is there a way to find pianos to play in every city?
You can purchase piano lamps at furnishing stores, music stores or online such as http://www.conocopianolamps.com or http://www.conocolighting.com. The price in US dollars of a piano lamp ranges from as low as forty to as high as hundreds of dollars. With all the varieties and styles available, rest assured you will find one to suit your tastes and your budget.
From their very inception, piano lamps have replaced the need to use candles to provide light and add a nice mood to a piano recital or concert. Modern LED piano lamps are much safer and can be even more beautiful and stylish than the nicest candelabras from times of old.
