Lancaster Pennsylvania: Music in the Streets

Amazing! The city of Lancaster has pianos sitting outside on the sidewalk, everywhere you turn. No joke. Every couple of blocks, there's a piano! Anyone can sit down and play them.

They were purchased by the funds from a rich person, and are kept up by "sponsors" who have their name on the piano -- keeping it tuned, painted, etc.

The one below has a plexiglas front so you can see the workings of the levers and hammers as you play.
