A few years ago we posted about a grand piano which rather mysteriously showed up on a sandbar in Biscayne Bay near Miami. A few days ago, a grand piano showed up on a sand beach beneath the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City’s East River. No one is sure how it got there, but it has become a minor tourist attraction. The piano doesn’t actually play anymore, which, of course, hasn’t stopped many from pretending to give impromptu concerts, sometimes on a rising tide. For the last several years dozens of “pop-up pianos” have appeared around New York city available for anyone passing by to play. The “pop-up pianos,” which are more formally called the “Sing for Hope Pianos installation,” will not be around this summer. But, at least we now have one “float-up” piano.”
Mystery Piano Ends Up Under Brooklyn Bridge in East River
Reminds me of how some dumped their old fridge, washer, dryer, couch, etc. at the dead end or over the cliff by the river years ago.
Here, they just went through and cleaned up a bunch of that junk, big huge tractor tire too with a backhoe it was so big.
Cheaper to buy a few guys beer to get rid of it than pay a trash man and , let others worry about it mentality.
You’d think some of the wood could be reused, the metal inside is hugh and heavy, I think brass? Its something the strings are strung on.
The piano wire has lots of ther uses too.
Gee, I wonder now if the keys could be real ivory?
