Mystery Piano Found

By Miss Cellania in Everything Else on Nov 24, 2008 at 10:10 am

Attention: If you have lost a piano, police in Massachusetts would like to talk with you. A mysterious piano in good working condition was found sitting in the middle of a forest near Harwich, Massachusetts.

Discovered by a woman who was walking a trail, the Baldwin Acrosonic piano, model number 987, is intact — and, apparently, in tune.

Sgt. Adam Hutton of the Harwich Police Department said information has been broadcast to all the other police departments in the Cape Cod area in hopes of drumming up a clue, however minor it may be.

But so far, the investigation is flat.

Police took the piano and bench into custody. Link -via Arbroath

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

I need a piano…I wish someone would leave one in good working condition in the woods for me to find…

One time I worked on a music video where we dragged a piano we had gotten free from a church into the middle of the woods for a shot. It was so hard to get of the mud at the end of the day we probably thought about leaving it behind.

A number of years ago my wife & I were driving through rural Iowa, and drove by an old upright piano sitting on the shoulder of the highway. It looked like it had fallen off the back of a truck; much of the wood was torn up & broken, and small parts were lying all over. I don’t think it was still in tune.

“But so far, the investigation is flat.”

pianorockfive: Go to craigslist, there’s free and cheap pianos available all the time, because no one wants to move them!

So a Piano left in the forest is a POLICE MATTER?

If a a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, who is supposed to call the cops?

Maybe by the same guy(s) that left a piano on the summit of Ben Nevis?

I wonder what the sound of a Piano blowing up sounds like? Amy Whinehouse perhaps?

Well, this is further proof that cultists and devil worshipers are partying it out like it’s 1666 in the woods by jamming to some hot evil music. Beethoven of the damned! O_o

ali s… thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard… why on earth would this lady call the police, i hate how people have to call the police for everything now. if theres a perfectly in tact piano thats in tune out in the middle of nature, then obviously someone is going out there to jam and probably prefers to be surrounded by nature while doing it. who wouldnt?

just to put this out there in case its found… “lots of 100$ bills stuffed in a big sack with a big $ sign on the side”

Just leave it alone. Whoever put it there obviously did not do so by accident, they probably just like to play piano in the woods. I cant imagine why the police were even informed of this.

It’s called illegal dumping.

My theory is that the woman who reported this is part of the group who left it there: Performance art or practical joke.

Illegal dumping is a crime, in my area it’s a 500 dollar fine. I know because I got rid of my old oven by dropping it off in the woods.

Anything just a little bit out of place is a police matter apparently. I love it when weird stuff like this happens, but someone has to come along and decide it’s too weird and do something about it.

i thinks this was just a trick to fool the police. guys just had nothing to do and after a reasonable amount of beer drunk, they decided to take parents’ piano to the forest:)
