I tried to get my high school marching band to put a piano on wheels and let me "march" that way. Hitch it up to a couple of the bass drums and away I'd go. My band teacher disagreed. I marched the cymbals instead.
I've seen a lot of pianos in my day, some stored in sheds, in garages, in the backs of churches--all in pretty awful shape--but none... quite like that.

Q: So-how-do-you-get-piano-in-subway?
A: Very carefully.
Okay... I have no idea... *continues to stare*
Love it! There's really nothing like the NY subway!
Good question, never really thought about it. And if that paint bucket is for donations, they have some high expectations.
I can empathize with this guy.
I was once involved in this thing called "Strolling Stings"
And I play the cello.
That's one glorious typo there Lily. I think you win by default!
If it's a handicap accessible station, then the elevator. If not then a well used gym membership.

We love that guy! His piano gets a little shabbier every time we see him, guessing he uses the stairs.

Was it in tune?
Natasha, there are people who can identify the sounds the subway cars make when they start up -- note for note. They say it's the first three notes of "Somewhere" from West Side Story.
Me, I'm not quite so keen of ear. I was mostly trying to figure out how they got that hulk up the stairs.
I'm from California and how they get anything in a subway is a mystery to me.
LOL!! Now THAT'S what I miss about living in NYC!
I've seen this guy a couple of times. He's a terrific pianist and I just smile ear to ear to see a real piano in the station.
I saw a piano in the Union Square stop last month. wonder if it's a traveling act and it was the same guy.
