“Public pianos” are dumb and I don’t care about your piano skills

r/

Why and when we normalize putting a piano in public places for people to play?
We don’t do this with a microphone for people to sing (thank god), not with a guitar, why is it considered ok with the piano?

I don’t care if you play the piano, just stop that annoying sound and leave the public places quieter, please

    I work in a hospital that has a piano in the atrium where people enter the building. We allow anyone who can actually play to play. Staff. Visitors. It helps more than it harms/annoys. We have a surgeon who is so gifted that comes and plays to decompress between surgeries. It helps him and everyone around him.

    brother if I have to listen to the garbage that passes for modern pop music in every grocery and department store, you can tough it out over some Chopin or Satie

    I agree. My city doesn’t have any. I haven’t really seen any in Asia in general, since we respect that the public areas are for everyone to enjoy in peace.

    You’re just being a little hateful really. Any public place a piano would be in wouldn’t very quiet to begin with anyway.

    Bit of a weird thing to dislike. Piano music is beautiful.
