Piano Man
Claiming to be the 1st ever to bring a piano onto the NYC subway, this sterling fellow jockeys 4 uprights bought on craigslist around the streets of lower manhattan for busking purposes. A passerby was quoted as saying “Man what are you doin’ here?”

I have seen them wheel an acoustic upright piano to the Pearl Street Mall out here in Boulder, Colorado. As a piano man and technician I always wonder if the pianist finds it worthwhile performing on an out of tune old upright. I’m impressed!
I do all my outdoor piano playing on my Korg SGProx.
