Pianos in Public Buffalo: Music & art in open spaces

Photo from Mark Weber

Brightly painted upright pianos are popping up at some outdoor gathering spaces in Buffalo. The project is meant to bring music and art together.

It's called "Pianos in Public Buffalo".  One of the pianos is located at Canalside and anyone is welcome to tickle the ivories.

WBFO's Eileen Buckley sat down with the creator of this project -- Mark Weber, a local singer.

Weber is saving old pianos from being tossed away and instead bringing them to the public to play music.
