Sixty-three kilograms of cocaine found hidden in a piano on July 12 by RCMP investigators is shown in this recent handout. Quebec RCMP say they found 62.7 kilograms of cocaine hidden in the walls of a grand piano during searches in the Lanaudière region and the Sherbrooke, Que., area.

I'm sure there's some kind of a pun to be had here but I can't think of what it is at the moment...

And that's why I prefer my RD-2000: there's no room for that nonsense! 😃


Enthusiastic but mediocre amateur.

But officer, it is only sound deadening material since my piano room has marble floors.

Looks like the stuffed it from the beams to the soundboard entirely, and then nailed a false "floor" onto the bottom.

That piano piano must have sounded horrible (but who am I kidding, there's so much space to hide even more cocaine in the action cavity)!

Clearly they got greedy.

The thing I worry about is that this will make piano transportation even harder than it already is.

Once folks realize that there's been a long tradition of smuggling various things in pianos, many innocent pianos are bound to get damaged one way or another during customs inspections.

    Until now a Steinway Fibonacci with $2 400 000 was listed as the most expensive grand...

    Wonder what kind of piano it was? Wonder what condition it was in before they started their search? Wonder what I could hide on my piano? Hmmmm,
