Frequently Asked Questions

World Pianos is a free, open directory of public pianos around the world — street pianos, community pianos, and permanent public installations. Our goal is to be the most reliable place anyone can go to find a piano to play, in any city.

World Pianos is created and maintained by Sing for Hope, a nonprofit arts organization that has placed hundreds of artist-decorated pianos in public spaces around the world. Learn more at singforhope.org.

If a piano has been removed, damaged beyond use, or is otherwise no longer playable, please let us know via the Contact page. We update status as quickly as possible so no one wastes a trip.
