Sing for Hope pianos at UA gates
First time seeing one of these in an airport. It’s at EWR Gate 121. I’m not sure the passengers boarding at that gate would appreciate my rendition of “Chopsticks.”
Any musically inclined FTers out there that have played one of these? Are they at multiple airports?

There is at least another piano at EWR, one by C1 concourse.

How'd they find room for it?

LAX has had a piano for a while I guess, but I'm not sure if that's related to this piano.

My home base EWR finally gets these, right when I can’t play Runaway in public anymore…..

ORD has one in C, but I think it’s property of that wine bar.
Thankfully, I think it’s automated all the time/most of the time?

And, how can you stuff it into a carryon?

Could always ask a FA if they have any extra room in their carryon...

Nope! The piano would unfortunately crush the pringles. No go.

At least two that I can think of. One in T7 and another in the airside walkway between T4 and TBIT.
