SUSSEX, N.B.—A New Brunswick man unhappy with a noisy outdoor piano in his local town square took matters into his own hands this week: He screwed the key cover shut. The weatherized, brightly coloured piano was installed at about July 1 at Leonard’s Gate in Sussex, N.B. Scott Hatcher, the town’s chief administrative officer, had seen a similar piano while vacationing in Kelowna, B.C., and thought one would help Sussex’s downtown revitalization efforts. “What a great way to pass an hour,” Hatcher said Thursday of what he saw on his western vacation. “I’d go out and get a coffee in the morning and just sit there and listen.”Hatcher said the Sussex piano caught on quickly with residents, but that included some who tinkled the ivories after midnight.
