There's a grand piano sitting in the East River, and while no one knows how or why it got there, New Yorkers have been increasingly enchanted with its existence.

It started when BuzzFeed Editor Lauren Yapalater spotted the piano on her commute to work.

She went to inspect it closer, and realized it wouldn't play.
