Do you know that today March 29 is PIANO DAY?

[AviatorTom]

Yes, that's right!

March 29 is Piano Day... in every year except leap year, when Piano Day is March 28.

Do you know why it's called Piano Day?

If you can play the piano, even a little bit, today is the day to play your favorite tune.

Correct answer will be in an Update, later today.

The Leap Year twist gives it away. 88 keys on the piano, 88th day of the year.

[OlderAndWiser]

I got it right. You owe me $100! 😀😀😀

[OlderAndWiser]

I'll settle for MHO! Thanks, dude.

[purplepoppy]

Well there's more than 29 keys so it can't be that. Just a guess but if you play one key a day do you reach the end on the 29th?

[SaoirseS]

88 is the Julian Date for March 29, and there are 88 keys on a piano (except for a few Boesendorfer and Stuart & Sons pianos).

[AI Opinion]

Yes, Piano Day is celebrated on the 88th day of the year because a standard piano has 88 keys. 🎹 It's a special day to appreciate pianists and piano music. Whether you can play or not, it's a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the beauty of piano compositions!

[Nikki1989]

Every day is piano for day for me. I always get at least an hour of practice in.

[najekim]

I would have said August 8th would have been piano day.

[AviatorTom]

That could be Piano Day 2.

[Blunky]

Weird. As a piano player, every time I walk by the piano is piano day for me lol.
