Ed è di conforto sapere che il pianoforte appartenuto a Keith Tippett continua ad allietare e incuriosire i frequentatori del pub Three Cups a Malmesbury, nella contea del Wiltshire in Inghilterra, non lontano da Bristol: sono state Julie e Inca Tippetts ad affidarlo direttamente a Janinka Diverio, titolare del locale, amica e per alcuni anni collaboratrice di Keith, oltre che di Mike Westbrook e Satoko Fujii, come promotrice di vari eventi musicali per Mind Your Own Music. Dopo la volta qualche mese fa di Matthew Bourne - che in quella circostanza si è molto emozionato, per più di un motivo - a suonarlo l'altra sera è stato Mike Adcock.
Dice Janinka: "The Cups is honoured to be the new custodians of this beautiful instrument where all of Keith's major works were composed: I have had the honour of working with Keith for about seven years in the early 2000s and he has always had a special place in my life, his uncompromising energy and creativity has been a constant source of inspiration and so to now house his piano upon which many works were crafted is beyond any imaginable expectation I may have had. It’s our hope, and that of his lovely family, that this piano will continue to entertain, educate and inspire our costumers. We ask that permission is asked and that only reasonably accomplished players use it. Music is our life here at The Cups and this piano seems very much at home!"
