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.

And everyone just ignores the neglected Viola lingering on the high plateau Pueblo of New Mexico.

Neglect? Sorry, there were 4 strings atached.All bowed out.

If a piano is played in the woods and there is no one there to hear it, does it make sounds?

Methinks Massachusetts men need some more testosterone.

Obviously they have never heard of a piano board. I used to deliver pianos for a living. We never used more than two men to move a piano of any type.

Let me ask the obvious: Can’t they dust the keys for finger prints?

It took more than six men?

Men?

Hmmmppphhh

The Massachusetts area has something like a thousand institutions of higher? education in an extremely small radius.

It never occurs that out of all those 18 - 25 year olds, from every country on planet earth, having been rid of trhe bonds of Mom or Dad or Sharia or whatever .... Someone might get drunk and just do something?

We always called it impromptu geurila theater ... other less imaginative took road trips.

They were going to bring the piano Bach to the police station, but it baroque. If you want to in choir how, it fell of a clef. They’re still trying to figure out who would duet, and how to find hymn. It turns out they couldn’t arrest the guy, because he was A Minor. They told hymn to refrain from doing it again. Overall he was A Sharp kid.

Who puts a piano in the woods? Some sort of wussy metro-sexual woodland creature: you know, a metro-gnome.

Agree, my wife recently bought a second hand, baby grand piano, and 2 guys moved if from the previous owner’s home to ours. There was a 3rd guy with them, but he did little, if any, of the lifting.

Even if the piano in the woods was a grand, I can’t see it taking 3 times as much manpower...unless this was a government operation.

Ha! It only me and my brother (two WV men) what it took "more than a half dozen" wimpy MA guys to do when we moved an identical piano a couple years ago. (Guess they finally found it..)
