Piano caught in rain may be damaged beyond repair


Philadelphia Orchestra musicians had to run offstage with their instruments after the fire safety sprinklers above the stage accidentally went off during a late-morning rehearsal in Verizon Hall on Tuesday.

The piano, worth roughly $80,000 to 85,000, was left with its top open and collected "quite a bit of water," Kimmel Center President Janice Price said.
