Some Miami residents couldn't believe their eyes when they saw a grand piano out in Biscayne Bay, perched atop a sandbar.
Even though the piano remains above water even at low high tide, no music has been heard from it. http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/01/24/2031940/mysterious-grand-piano-found-on.html -via Arbroath

How and why the piano got there is a mystery. A grand piano weighs at least 650 pounds and is unwieldly to move, said Bob Shapiro, a salesman at Piano Music Center in Pembroke Park. ``You don't take it out there in a rowboat,'' Shapiro said.
This much is clear, however: The piano isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Unless it becomes a danger to wildlife or boaters, authorities have no plans to haul it away.
``We are not responsible for removing such items,'' said Jorge Pino, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. ``Even a car can become a habitat for wildlife. Unless the item becomes a navigational hazard, the Coast Guard would not get involved.''

Clearly this is the work of the same person who put the wood plank on the iceberg and a sign of the apocalypse.

The piano is *especially* likely to remain above water at *low* tide. Perhaps you mean "even at high tide".

Clearly an iceberg washed ashore and melted. Revelaing the piano, which was entombed in the ice.

Recently there was a dog found on a piece of ice about 18 miles out into the ocean. As far as the piano? Hopefully someone will be cool enough to keep it in good working order (somehow... stainless steel and lots of waterproofing?) so people will occasionally go out there to play it.

Why is this a mystery? wood floats! Could it be from the Titanic? A gift from Cuba? Anything can happen in Florida.
