Re: Public Pianos
Pretty cool! Just added one I'm aware of. Too bad about all the ads though... I wonder if the same could be achieved with a smart OpenStreetMap query somehow somewhere? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3DpianoMichael Willis wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 1:28 pm I found this fun site that helps locate public pianos that can be played by anybody:

Re: Public Pianos
I've had my fill of amateur musicians. The neighbor's kids recently began learning to play musical instruments (clarinet and trumpet). I discovered this only the other day, when they were playing a duet, and I called Animal Protective Services to report I had reason to believe my neighbor was staging illegal dog fights.folderol wrote: They should be played by EVERYBODY
