Four older, upright pianos are scattered across Vancouver free of charge to anyone who wishes to sit down and hammer out a few tunes.<\/p>\n The plan originated in April with\u00a0City Studio<\/a>, collaboration between the City of Vancouver and six post secondary institutions. City Studio is comprised of like minded university students drawn to the concept of a green city. The aim was to revitalize the city\u2019s public spaces, specifically its green spaces, and make them inviting and accessible.<\/p>\n
