* '''[[Greylock Dining Hall]]''' Upright in the Makepeace Room. The room to the left as you enter from [[Route 2]]. Great acoustics in this large room; your music will reverberate through the building.
* '''[[Mark Hopkins House]]''' Upright in the main common room. The quality (sound and touch) is suprisingly decent.
* '''[[Mission Park|Mission]]''' Upright in the billiards lounge. Has seen better daysMany Keys don't work, most notably the first G# above middle C. And the ones that do, aren't tuned. God forbid if you need low notes. If you play anything faster than a turtle lays eggs the keys probably won't rise back up fast enough.
* '''[[Spencer House]]''' Upright on the first floor. Tuning is poor, but it has an old-timey honky-tonk sound.
* '''[[Thompson Chapel]]''' In the front of the chapel, to the right. This piano used to belong to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cole_Porter Cole Porter]. It is usually kept fairly well in tune and has a soft touch and mellow sound -- not so great for Rachmaninov but perfect for jazz or just fiddling around. Has a crappy pedal that almost doesn't work. I'm not sure what the [[Music Department]]'s official stance is as far as random people just wandering in and using it, but it's not locked and there's often no one in the chapel.
