Going back to Shambles question. I do not see that a player piano needs an entertainment facilities entry on a licence unless and until someone uses it to perform licencable music (e.g. it is not needed if it only used for incidental music).

If you were correct, the same would then be true of juke box or any other means of playing recorded music.

But the DCMS have long maintained that a piano (if it is not disabled to ensure that it cannot be played) will be an entertainment facility under the Act............Unless they are not now saying this?
