Know it plays before you walk over.
A piano only counts if it sounds. The people who already sat down at it upvote or downvote it and leave a line about how it felt.
- One vote per player. Votes retune each piano’s rating as it ages, so it describes the instrument today.
- Closest first. The map and the list sort by distance, and you can search any city before you land.
- Photos from the bench. Anyone who plays can add a photo, so you recognise the piano when you get there.
Put your city on the board.
Most public pianos are still undocumented. The one around your corner is on the map only if someone puts it there, and it takes about a minute.
- Drop the pinUse your location, or drag the pin on the map until it sits on the piano.
- Name itThe place fills in on its own. Add a photo if you like.
- DoneThe next person who walks past finds it because of you. Duplicates are caught before they land.
Hundreds of pianos are already on the map, seeded from open data. Every one you add is one nobody had found.
Every piano you play, stamped.
Check in when you sit down and that piano gives you a numbered stamp. Your Passport fills up city by city, country by country.

Public pianos, answered.
What people ask before they sit down at a piano in a station, park or square.
How do I find a public piano near me?
Open PianoSpot, a free app for iPhone and Android, and let it use your location. The map and the list show the public pianos closest to you first, with ratings and photos from people who played them. You can also search any city before you travel.
Can anyone play a street piano?
Yes. Street pianos are put out for anyone to sit down and play, whatever their level. Be considerate of people nearby and follow any posted rules or playing hours, especially in stations and shopping centres.
Are public pianos free to play?
Yes. Public pianos are free to play. Some sit inside cafés, stations or malls, so you can only reach them while the venue is open. PianoSpot itself is free to download and to use for finding pianos.
Where are public pianos usually found?
Mostly in train stations, airports, parks, squares, libraries, shopping centres and cafés. PianoSpot maps them in cities around the world, and players add new ones as they find them.
How do I know if a public piano is in tune?
Check its rating and reviews in PianoSpot. People who played it upvote or downvote it and leave a short note, and the rating keeps up as the piano ages, so it describes the instrument today.
Can I add a public piano to the map?
Yes. In PianoSpot, drop a pin on the piano, give it a name and add a photo if you like. It takes about a minute, and duplicates are caught before they are added.
Your next piano is out there.
