Davis street piano hours?

The Davis street piano has a laminated paper sign saying you can play it from 9 am to 9 pm.

Is that an official rule, or did some random person make the sign? There are no hours listed here, even though other listings do have time restrictions.

Having some limit does make sense, since people live above Tedeschi's, etc. But 9 pm is ridiculous. I think a more reasonable end time for such a busy location would be 11 pm or midnight. What does the city noise ordinance say about street musicians and other noise at night?

That was what I was going to say. They have really specific instructions about covering and having people around and such, and I'd guess the rules are more about that then any noise ordinances.

yes, this. Tags takes care of the one at Porter Square shopping plaza, and presumably it is open when their employees can lock/unlock/cover/uncover it, for instance.
