16 Beautiful Piano Designs You Would Love To Play

 

Back in 2008, British artist Luke Jarram had an idea, get strangers to communicate and interact more in the public space by placing pianos around for anyone to play! Thus, the "Play Me, I'm Yours" project began. That year, Jarram placed 15 pianos in different parts of the city of Birmingham, UK and left them there for three weeks to see what would happen. It was a resounding success, so Jarram decided to expand his project. To date, roughly 1,000 beautifully painted pianos have been deposited in 37 cities worldwide, all emblazoned with the simple instruction "Play Me, I'm Yours." Check out these 16 beautiful outdoor pianos, most of which come from Jarram's project, but others of which were installed and decorated by local communities.
