Calming Piano

Calming Piano is deep in Switzerland's listing, at 92 of 126. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

Calming Piano broadcasts in English from Switzerland. That is a minority language on the national dial, where German leads, but not a small one: 40 stations in Switzerland in the directory carry English, which is a substantial second listing inside the first.

Where else English is on air, according to the same snapshot: mostly United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. The shelf lists all 5,984 of them together, which is the view a country hub cannot give.

Nothing else in Switzerland's listing leads with calm. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

The stream is encoded at 256 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Switzerland. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

11 of Switzerland's entries are served from strm112.1.fm, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
