A couple stopped by the piano and I asked if they would like to play. They were hoping that I was going to play and they could listen. Oh, well...

My name is Jill Santos and I'm the current Miss Mendocino County from California. My platform is Music and Art Therapy for the Elderly and piano is the main source of therapy I provide for them, which is why finding these pianos was so special to me. I was in Boston for five days for an Alzheimer's Symposium at Harvard with my mom, and as soon as we learned about the pianos, we printed the map and searched for them all! Unfortunately we couldn't extend our trip anymore, but I did find 47 of them. It has been a wonderful adventure and experience playing in special places and meeting new people all over Boston. :)

I hope this piano is moved and never returns.

Report this commentMy neighbors and I love music and attend BSO concerts regularly. Unfortunately, we also live a few minutes' walk from this piano, and we have been going out of our wits with the nonstop noise from this piano.
24/7 piano playing between 9/27/2013-10/14/2013 is noise pollution. We can hear EVERYTHING in our residences, including the drunk jerks who play at 3 am every weekday. Please consider having a sign on each piano asking people not to play in the dead of night.

Rushing down Mass. Ave. between Harvard and Porter Squares today (in 80 degree weather - hello global warming!), I came upon one of the 75 pianos installed around metro Boston . These two girls were having a blast making up tunes, and I just loved their outfits, so I just had to stop and listen and smile.

I spent an amazing afternoon walking with Tony DeBlois and his mother, Jan. Tony is blind, autistic and has Savant Syndrome. He is hoping to play all 75 pianos.
I loved the simple design of this piano. The piano was tucked into a corner and even though it was right on the street the sound was amazingly good.
