Keyboards
To use any of the college pianos or keyboards please fill in an application form (also available at the Porters' Lodge) and leave it in the College Secretary's pigeonhole. There is a Yamaha grand piano in the Lee Hall which is available to pianists with Grade 8 or above. The OCR has a baby grand and an old upright piano, and there is a good upright piano for practice purposes in the Seminar Room. In the Club Room there is an electronic piano. There is also a harpsichord in the Lee Hall (permission to play this must also be obtained using the form above and is at the discretion of the Director of Music). To book any of these instruments, or the rooms mentioned, for practice purposes, please email accommodation at wolfson.cam.ac.uk. Keys for the pianos should be signed out from the Porters' Lodge.
