HARWICH, Mass. — Harwich police have a musical mystery on their hands: Who left a piano in the middle of the woods? And why?

The Baldwin piano discovered in the Bells Neck woods appears to be in perfect working condition and had a matching bench as if it had recently been played.

The piano was discovered Saturday by a woman walking along a path inside a conservation area at the woods.

Another question police would like to answer is how the piano got to such a remote location. The piano is heavy and it took more than a half dozen men to load it onto a truck to remove it.

"Whoever did this missed an opportunity to do us all a favor by dumping an accordion instead." Now that's funny - I don't care who you are. Actually, it seems obvious to me: George Michael setting a trap for Elton John.

Dayum!!! I wish I had checked the size of that shot before I posted...sorry all

[uglybiker]

better than finding a organ out there

Yes. Yes it would.

what to bass their investigation on

How did fish get into this? (The cops must have been able to C sharp to find this piano.)

[Gorzaloon]

Sounds like an elaborate practical joke to me.

Maybe it was a Cult Thing.

You know, Satan was supposed to swap his accordian for it, or something.

“A gentleman is a man who can play the accordion but doesn’t.”

Sounds like an elaborate practical joke to me.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Perhaps the pianist was tickling more than the ivorys.

“...but I’ve never forgotten it.”

Oh yeah. A real groaner.

bass the instrument

[FreeAmerica2009]

Youre all missing the obvious. It was the aliens.

No they would have left it in Area 57, not in the woods of Mass.

I was trying to be a smart aleck. It got lost in translation, I guess. I was hoping for some more smart alecky remarks in return, rather than an explanation. :-)

Bass, the instrument? My bad. I assumed bass, the clef.

If a piano is left in the woods and someone plays it with no one else around to hear it...does it make any sound?

[Vanders9]

Perhaps they are branching out... :)

[FreeAmerica2009]

As someone said, “Does a Bear Play the piano in the Woods?”

[vigilante2]

The first thing I always do when I find a piano in the woods is call the police!

[Company Man]

It sounds like someone with more money than sense had it placed there so they could spring a romantic surprise on their lover. Wonder why it was such a big problem for the ‘authorities’?

[lefty-lie-spy]

My guess would be a film shoot too, but that’s one ugly-ass, elementary school chump change POS piano if the above picture is related to the story. I’d throw it in the woods too.
