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.

I love gags like this — like the old college stunt of bringing a cow or a horse into a dean’s office and leaving it there overnight. I think there are also stories of teams partially disassembling a VW and then putting back together on the roof of a building and leaving it running.

*there's a story in my former neck-o-the-woods (Lake Boon) that Babe Ruth used to rent a cottage on the lake. And when he got word he was going to the Yankees, he took the piano in the cottage, carried/dragged it to the lake and pushed it in, then uttered the curse thyat the Sox would never win a World Series again.
