Miami, FL, United States (AHN) – A grand piano has mysteriously appeared on a sandbar in the middle of Miami’s Biscayne Bay. The piano, which only recently appeared, is about 200 yards from Quayside condominiums in Miami Shores.
Jorge Pino, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said authorities will not remove it unless it begins to pose a danger to boaters or wildlife.
“We are not responsible for removing such items,” Pino said. “Even a car can become a habitat for wildlife… Unless the item becomes a navigational hazard, the Coast Guard would not get involved.”
Statements from marine patrols of both the North Miami Police Department and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said the same thing.
Grand pianos typically weigh at least 650 pounds and are difficult to move. Whoever put it there placed it at the highest point of the sandbar so it remains out of water during high tide. They also didn’t fit it in a rowboat, so bringing it out there obviously took some planning, horsepower, and manpower.
The shape of the piano is visible from the shore and from Quayside condos, however closer inspection with binoculars shows that seagulls now use it as a resting place.
