Hello! I hope it is ok that I post this here. I was just walking down E84th Street and came across a Lester Spinet piano which at this very moment 7:35 pm Wednesday June 30th is sitting on the sidewalk (closer to 2nd avenue, on the south side of the street). It is in great need of repair, but since somone abandoned it, I am posting this in the hope that there is someone out there with the resouces and means to salvage it before it is fully disposed of. What is cool, is that as I came upon it, a group of musicians were improvising (on their way to a gig) and a crowd had gathered. I asked them if they knew about Sing for Hope and they hadn't even heard! So the Sing for Hope Piano project is already making positive waves in NYC.

What are the actual hours for this piano? I have been here several times before the 10 pm closing, and the piano is already locked.

My imperfect performance of "God Bless The Child". Yes, this piano was hard to find on a hot day!

This one was hard to find because it wasn't in front of the Met like I would have expected, and no one at the museum information desk knew where it was. Describing the location as Cleopatra's Needle (in the park, behind the museum) would be more accurate. : )
