Public outdoor piano at Stanford University outside Braun Hall.

This is in one of the greenhouses with plants- you can ask the workers to find it. It is a very pretty upright piano

As of this writing, house is open to the public 1-4pm Tuesdays and Wednesdays (but check the City of Mountain View website). I asked the volunteer if I could play on the upright and it's 100% fine.

Main Entrance 2nd level of lobby at Palo Alto Medical Foundation

Open for 15 minute reservation every other Friday for Riverside library card holders

Located in the tulip field as of March 2024. Ride the tractor wagon and you will pass by it.

An old brown Steinway, maybe 6'. Somewhat out of tune. In the lobby. Free to play, apparently. There are wipes: clean it when finished. It's not technically a public area so they may boot you if you're not there for a reason. It's in a lobby that's often staffed, so it would not be polite to practice scales there. I've never seen anyone but myself play it.

Nice Kawai baby grand. Mostly in tune. D key sticks a little. Really enjoyed playing it October 27, 2023. I don’t know if this one used to be in the connector to Terminal 4 - there is no piano in the connector at this time.

Inside the university, but is open-campus.

In the hotel lobby

trolling piano enthusiasts be like...

Make me one with drums! And a tiger for a stool!! Yeah!!

Front porch public piano.

Accessible only to Googlers and their guests

Piano is from the 19th century and sounds good, but unfortunately it's kept outside and looks to be rapidly deteriorating. Some keys are stuck or have broken off. Still cool! I hope it's preserved

The Atrium is a nonprofit that supports local eco friendly artists, where you can play their baby grand piano, paint a canvas , shop locally made items, sip kombucha and play with their art installations. Address - 1020 Front Street, Sacramento CA 95814 - @atrium916 - Atrium916.com

Uncertain if available for public playing. Inside of shop, seems a decorative piece, I'd observe it through window @ 17:50 Sunday 14 Feb 2021.

Cool red piano

Need to be a student or know a student to get in the door.

Lovely multi use venue in San Francisco’s mission district. Upright piano in the basement towards back of the building.

Upright piano in Gresham Hall basement multi use room.

Grand piano front and center in the lobby. Locked and the front desk said they don’t have the key on hand. Told me they only allow pre-booked pianists to play but mentioned that they may be looking for someone to fill this role. I was not a guest of the hotel, had no previous rapport with the reception desk and my net worth was obviously far too low for them to make any policy exceptions.

Old sailors dive bar in Oakland’s Jack London square district. Worn in piano, loud bar. Louder patrons.

Cool cafe with musically inclined clientele and staff. Live music almost every night, and you'll often find someone jamming at any other time. You definitely need to smooth talk your way into getting to play this piano: time of day and staff mood are key factors. If you succeed, you'll have a very appreciative live audience.

Inside the dining area, there's an upright piano that's rarely used. It might be nice to swing by here to play it and entertain the people living there. Dinner is served daily at 6pm. Ask (Ray) if you can play it (and also volunteer to help serve dinner!). The staff there is very friendly.

Great baby grand in the lobby. Key bed is unlocked but a sign warns you not to play it. Desk clerk would not allow. Said it's too old and out of tune. (looked serviceable to me) They said they also don't book professionals to play it. Just keeping it around for looks. The audacity to place a piano so prominently and then impose such structure... I know someone has played this piano. I probably wasn't dressed nicely enough. Good luck with this one

Grand piano in the back of the coffee shop. Very playable but a quiet room when I visited. Barista was friendly and enjoyed the tunes.

Upright piano in Vladimir's Czech restaurant in lovely Inverness, CA. Patrons and staff are extremely friendly and enjoyed our playing and singing.

Very classy local organic restaurant. Nice upright piano near the door. You'll be playing to patrons, so it better be good. Bar patrons are into it, staff is a little skeptical...

Grand piano at the Red Victorian, an old communal living / event space on Haight street in SF.

Upright piano in a very laid back consignment shop. Sonora, CA

Grand piano in the Holiday Inn basement conference center. It's a nice piano and very out of the way, especially if there's no active conference.

Beautiful Steinway Grand on the 62nd floor observation deck. Panoramic views of the entire Bay Area. Technically you're supposed to book time on this piano through a special internal tool, but I got away with a solid 30 minute set ;) Coffee shop and very corporate techie crowd. You'll need to know someone with a badge to get into this room.

Beautiful red grand piano in the second floor lobby just up the stairs. Friendly desk and great vibes. Hotel is supposedly closed until Feb 2019 for construction.

Oakland Secret is a very cool little music venue. There's a nice upright piano in the venue space just as you come in the door. Not open every day. Evening shows are put on by the folks who live here.

Cool art gallery in Oakland. Shows in the evening sometimes. Not always open. Small upright in the back of the studio.

Piano in the lobby is usually locked but there is another one floating around the hotel, usually back in the hallway near the ballroom.

Two beautiful grand pianos here. Stop by, have a cup of coffee and a waffle, learn a bit about Scandinavia and check out the grand piano upstairs! Second piano in the chapel downstairs.

Semi-public upright piano. 924 E. Imperial Hwy 92821 Brea, CA

Grand Piano in the Lobby near the hotel bar. Not open every day and sometimes paid pianists in the evenings.

Nice piano here at the Ivy Room in Albany. Usually house music playing. If you play well enough to entertain the bar you might try asking the bartender to turn off the music for a bit.

French breakfast brunch spot. Old timey sounding piano here. Not a public piano and not exactly welcome for random playing. Ask permission and you may be invited to play in the evening.
