Lilly : This is the second abandoned piano I’ve seen on the street in a week.
Ronnie : Ah, here, they are placed on the street to be played by passers-by !
Lilly : You sure have some quaint ideas over there . .

My part-piano is one of several placed around London during a ‘Play Me, I’m Yours’ event . . Some photobloggers are trying to visit all 30 pianos and these guys played 24 in one day !

I knew the "singing in the rain". The "playing piano in the rain" is quite a find.

Looks a bit out-of-repair, but the overall impression is quite harmonic. :-) Crossing one of these pianos with a grand piano certainly would be a real challenge for every pianist.

From the depressed keys it would seem there is a transparent player or two

There should be more pianos in streets around here! :)

Thanks for the link - isn't this a great idea! Anyway - super image, but those depressed keys must be made by an invisible guy with HUGE hands!

Sometimes no one will even take these old pianos. This is really a well composed piece. Not sure who did what!

Wow! This is great. I like that you have thrown us off by the L, R, L, R not in the usual place and the awareness you brought to this interesting "Play Me" event.
It ecourages the average passer by to show their talent, or at least try.
I enjoyed the link, thanks.

Ronnie, if I am seeing this correctly the L, R, L, R means this is a 4 piece striated composition.? So isnt that really ..your "Four Sense"? :)

I can't imagine passing any piano without pounding out the boogie woogie.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogie_woogie

What a cool shot! There is a surreal quality, and I personally have never seen a piano left on the street.
Thanks for the link... :)

Wonder how many people stop to play the thing... excellent...

@Fliss: : (from Ronnie) Thanks, Fliss. I checked out four other locations of the total of 30 yesterday and only one of those was not being played !

That is SUCH a great idea! (I mean the streetpianos.)

Thats so cool, but someone's been hitting those keys too hard.
I saw the one in Devonshire Square when the Ukefest was on a couple of weeks back, but couldn't get on it due to the number of others wanting a go.

Fascinating! Glad you put up the R and L so I could decipher which was which, the blending is so good. Bravo!

Facinating seeing a piano in the wide open, nice shot.

Good place to put this wonderful piano. To play "As time goes by" once and again and again :)

Quien ha podido dejar esta reliquia de piano en la calle abandonado? Buen encuadre.
Saludos.

What a neat concept, what happens to the instruments if it rains and when the event is over?

You continue into new realms of cleverness.

Fun image, and I love the idea of pianos on the street.

Cool picture with that outside piano. I cannot figure out which part is from Lilly and from Ronnie this time.

Laurent from Lyon, France
two street pianos with too different purpuses make a tremendous picture.
But honestly I prefer the "play me, I'm yours" philosophise rather than "I'm useless"

Really? People leaving piano on the street? Interesting!

Wonderful composit! (Is that the right word?) Love this piano you created. I have a piano I would love to put out on the street with the hope somone would take it away.
