I found this fun site that helps locate public pianos that can be played by anybody:

...this just in...

"an elderly woman in Butte Montana called police on Thursday even after a mob of people showed up at her front door demanding to play her piano, the woman in her late 70's who does not own a piano reportedly tried to dissuade the mob by offering them Ovaltine and digestive cookies outside her home. Despite her insistence that she neither owned nor played piano the angry mob demanded to be furnished with a piano they allegedly had been promised on https://pianos.pub/.."

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%3Dpiano

Quite right...
They should be played by EVERYBODY - especially those who have never played one before.

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.

This is somehow cool...
