A Sooty piano?

When I was very little I was taken to see Archie Andrews at the Sunderland Empire where Ronald Chesney threw miniature mouth organs into the audience so we could play along. I've still got mine even though it put me off diatonic things for ever. I do recall my xylophone hammers being confiscated when I was executing a particularly bravura passage for the umpteenth time when the grownups were trying to concentrate on something trivial.
