".... volunteers have been enlisted to keep an eye on each of the pianos around the city — 36 in Manhattan, 10 in Brooklyn, 4 in the Bronx, 6 in Queens and 4 on Staten Island. Sing for Hope, the New York-based charity that imported “Play Me, I’m Yours” from Britain, says the pianos will stay put: They are anchored by cables to fences or to cinder blocks. Even a piano mover would have a hard time making off with one.Sing for Hope had an unlocking ceremony at 9 a.m. in Times Square, where a piano is at 42nd Street and Broadway, just below a walk-don’t walk sign. There was a concert that began with “I Love a Piano.” Alexander Long, who recently graduated from New Rochelle High School, accompanied two singers, Jaela Cheeks-Lomax and Samantha Bogle."
Pianos in New York; what a lovely idea.
