An unlikely sight has appeared off the the coast of Miami.

A grand piano, which weighs at least 300kg (650lb), now sits on a sandbank in the middle of the Biscayne Bay.

Exactly how and why the piano came to be there remains a mystery.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission say as long as the instrument isn't a navigational hazard, they won't remove it.

Local residents have been giving their thoughts on the new water feature.
