While we strive to maintain accurate information, we cannot guarantee the safety of any location. Always use common sense when visiting pianos, especially in unfamiliar areas. Visit during daylight hours when possible, let someone know where you're going, and trust your instincts about any location.

For immediate safety concerns, contact local emergency services first. Then, please report the issue to us at safety@worldpianos.org so we can update the listing and warn other users. We take safety reports very seriously and respond quickly.

Our platform is family-friendly, but children should always be supervised by adults when visiting piano locations. Parents should review location details and assess safety before visits. Our community guidelines ensure content remains appropriate for all ages.
