It was probably left there by yakatme because it was too big to fit in his kayak and too waterlogged to float it behind by the time the shoot was done.
ETA, the link is sort of not working.
Oddly, a couple years ago we had a perfectly good piano show up in "my" marsh, though by the time I heard about it, sadly, it had been removed; protected wetlands and all. They never did get to the bottom of that one.

Ha! How the kayak stayed afloat for more than a nanosecond is beyond me;-)
Anywho, the link does work but they play an annoying commercial before the video story.
There is a link to a newstory with a picture below the video feed that I just noticed this morning.
"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."

Hmmm, with that bit of information I wonder if a group is going around and planting piano's in odd places....definitely not something you see every day.
Shame that the piano was removed before you could capture a shot of it. According to the recent newstory, they have not yet removed the grand piano from the beach and the Agencies are 'stateing' that it is not their responsibility to move it...yet.
Oh, I immediately recognized the 600# piano as "Time Warp" Piano, from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Can only be explained as a cross dimensional transposition.
This afternoon, Miami New Times reported that husband-and-wife filmmakers Billy and Anais Yeager have claimed credit, saying it was for the final installment of a trilogy titled Jesus of Malibu. Besides Malibu and Miami, he said, they have also placed pianos in Death Valley, Calif., Costa Rica and Guatemala.
AND someone has taken photos of it and it can be currently found in a National Geographic reader photo contest
Beard submitted her best shot -- a gorgeous picture of a flock of pelicans alighting on the waterlogged piano -- to the monthly National Geographic reader-submitted photo contest.
It wasn't until yesterday, though, that the Miami Herald spotted her photo and sent their own team out to shoot the abandoned instrument.
