At least until the early 1970s the BBC used to blank out the names of
musical instruments, pianos being the most evident, that featured in
their televised concert programs. It was strange to watch the likes of
Richter and Rubenstein playing nameless pianos! I think it was a case of
the BBC, being completely commercial free at the time, refusing to be
seen to acknowledge or endorse any product over another.
