Edinburgh Airport piano player astounds fellow passengers with impromptu performance

A young man has shared his piano playing skills by using the Edinburgh Airport piano.

Playing a relaxing melody for travellers waiting for their flights, he almost looks out of place in the hustle and bustle of the busy airport.

People can be seen rushing past him as crowds prepare to jet off, but he doesn't seem bothered.

A small group has formed to watch him play sitting on benches behind him with some filming the performance.

Manuel, who uses the TikTok handle @pianix3 posted his first video of his piano playing to the popular video share platform yesterday.

He was waiting for his flight to Spain and decided to play a short tune captioning the video ‘Playing piano in Edinburgh airport just before catching my plane to spain’.

The video has already received over 700 views with commenters impressed by his skills encouraging him to keep posting videos.

His TikTok account appears to be specifically for him to upload his skilled piano playing videos, with his bio reading 'Hello! My name is Manuel and I like to play piano as a hobby'.

Since the installation of the airport piano many skilled musicians have entertained fellow passengers with their own renditions of piano classics.
