Piano at terminal Gate

SJC has a “Play It Again” upright piano in the Terminal A “Blue Dot” meet and greet area, 2nd level across from the security check point. Anyone can sit down at one of these pianos and “air their talent”. Some have even uploaded their performances to Facebook and YouTube.

There's a piano at Heathrow T3 just before the security entrance.

There's also one at ORD, next to the bar at C17 in Terminal 1 (across from the United Club). Unfortunately, it's a player piano and not manned by a human.

I am so disappointed.

I was expecting to see a thread about a passenger trying
to take a piano as a carry-on

Terminal B has one, too, at the bottom of the escalators between baggage claim and ticketing. Or, at least they used to.

There was a tuxedo-ed human playing at one of the United gates at O'Hare a week or so ago.

Hopefully the pax would at least buy a seat for the piano.

Not always. I've seen people playing it on occasion, although you have to ask permission. Generally helps to be good, too.
