Most cities have pianos sitting out in public, free for anyone to sit down and play. Train stations, parks, airports, shopping centres, hotel lobbies. Most people walk straight past without knowing they are there. PianoSpot shows you where they are. FIND ONE NEARBY Open the map and see the pianos around you, closest first. Heading somewhere new? Search the city before you go and know where to play when you land. SEE IF IT IS WORTH THE WALK A piano is only a find if it plays. Anyone who has played one can rate it, so you know whether you are walking to a well kept upright or one with three dead keys. The photos and comments come from people who actually sat down at it. COLLECT STAMPS Check in when you play and that piano gives you a numbered stamp. Your Passport fills up as you travel, city by city and country by country. ADD THE ONES NOBODY HAS FOUND Drop a pin, give it a name, done. Add a photo if you want to. The next person who walks past finds it because of you. EARN AS YOU GO Adding pianos, rating them and checking in all earn Notes. Level up from Newcomer to Busker, climb the leaderboard, and invite friends to map their own city. WHO IT IS FOR Travellers who want to play somewhere new. Locals who already know their neighbourhood instruments. Students with no keyboard at home. Anyone who has walked past a street piano and wondered if it was any good. PIANOSPOT PRO Unlimited saved pianos, a PRO badge next to your name, and it helps keep the map running. Free to use, and you do not need an account to look around. The map already has hundreds of pianos on it.
