Tallest, or highest?
Climatic conditions that can’t be very good for that piano.

I don’t understand how she could hear herself, not to mention what kind of audience she really had.
By contrast, this 9-year-old stunt at the mountains, with Francois-Rene Duchable, seems more like a real concert.

THAT’ would/should/icould be a real Guiness’Book of Records THING!!!

Idiotic. How many starving children could have been given a cheap lunch with the money for this stupid stunt?
