Seven pianos were scattered on a plaza outside Tel Aviv's Cinematheque offering passersby free ten minute lessons by teachers to mark the premier of the Israeli film Restoration. The film starring Sasson Gabbai and Henry David is set in the early 20th century in Tel Aviv and is about a family's efforts to save its furniture restoration business by trying to piece together the remains of a highly valued piano found by chance. Tomer Melnik, whose grandfather founded the Melnik Piano shop on Dizengoff Street just three years before the establishment of the state, was asked by the film's production company, United King, to contribute pianos as a publicity stunt to for the film's premier.
