— -- A melodic mystery has been solved in Southern California.

A piano perched on a mountain in Santa Monica sparked a chorus of social media photos from baffled hikers because the sound seemed to appear out of nowhere.

It turned out that a group of friends took the piano and trekked up the mountain in harmony for a music video shoot.
