Keys to the City You Can Play: 60 Pianos in NYC

NEW YORK — "Consider them keys to the city. Anyone who gets a sudden itch to tickle the ivories will be able to play free public pianos in 50 places throughout New York City, from the Coney Island boardwalk to the Metropolitan Museum.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Thursday that 60 pianos will be available in New York City until July 5. The concept was conceived by British artist Luke Jerram.  Some of the pianos will be outside. They'll be equipped with tarps in case of rain."
