Key Largo: Grand piano found on sandbar in Miami bay
Grand piano found on sandbar in Miami bay
Posted: Jan 25, 2011 8:10 AM EST Updated: Jan 25, 2011 9:30 AM EST MIAMI - A grand piano recently showed up on a sandbar in Miami's Biscayne Bay, about 200 yards from condominiums on the shore. The piano, which weighs at least 650 pounds, was placed at the highest spot along the sandbar so it doesn't get underwater during high tide. While officials aren't sure how it got there, they know it won't be going anywhere unless it becomes a hazard to wildlife or boaters. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino says the agency is not responsible for moving such items. And, he adds, unless it becomes a navigational hazard, the U.S. Coast Guard won't get involved. For now, the piano has become a fancy roost for seagulls. ___ Information from: The Miami Herald, MiamiHerald.com - Miami & Ft. Lauderdale News, Weather, Miami Dolphins & More |

Teen says he put grand piano in Miami bay
Posted: Jan 27, 2011 8:11 AM EST Updated: Jan 27, 2011 8:11 AM EST MIAMI - A 16-year-old looking to beef up his college application says he's responsible for the grand piano that mysteriously showed up on a sandbar in Miami's Biscayne Bay. The Miami Herald reports that Nicholas Harrington - son of "Burn Notice" production designer J. Mark Harrington - planned to make a promotional video using the piano. The plan went awry on New Year's Eve when partygoers lowered it into a canal and set it on fire. The next day, the family placed it on a 22-foot open fisherman and dumped it on the sandbar. The Herald story links to a video that shows Nicholas Harrington on the boat with the piano. The teen says he is "super happy" about the attention the piano has gotten in recent days. ___ Information from: The Miami Herald, |

Musician rescues Miami mystery piano from sandbar
Posted: Jan 28, 2011 8:31 AM EST Updated: Jan 31, 2011 7:29 AM EST MIAMI - A baby grand piano is gone again from a Miami sandbar after a musician rescued the battered instrument for his son. A towing crew took the piano Thursday. Its appearance on the sandbar in early January was a mystery until 16-year-old Nicholas Harrington stepped forward this week to say he put it there as an art project. State wildlife officials had served the Harringtons with orders to remove it within 24 hours. But musician Carl Bentulan got there first. Bentulan told The Miami Herald he plans to eventually put the piano in his living room. He said his 10-year-old son insisted the piano needed a home. It was unclear if the Harringtons will seek custody. But towing company owner Lynn Mitchell says maritime law gives possession to whoever pays to salvage something abandoned at sea. ___ Information from: The Miami Herald, MiamiHerald.com - Miami & Ft.
