[Comedy][Sci-Fi][Intrafandom Crossover]
Okay, so this one's complicated. This is a comment on Georg's blog "Out of sequence stories and Substitute Librarians" (573 words, 3 links, #Piano, #yesreallyapiano, #GreenGrass, #TravelingTutor,) which involves a crossover between Kris Overstreet's Changeling Space Program (312,910 words, [Adventure][Comedy][Sci-Fi],) and Georg's own "Cutting the Chord, Swinging the Hammer, and Dropping the Piano" (5,645 of 44,707 words in its anthology, [Comedy][Slice of Life],) which itself was inspired by Estee's 100% Move = 50% Fire (10,001 words, [Slice of Life])
SPOILERS FOR THIS WHOLE MESS: Suffice to say, Twilight Sparkle has a history with a certain musical instrument...
"That's one small step for Equestria," announced Queen Chrysalis as she stepped out onto the powdery surface of the moon, "and one giant—"
There was a pause, far longer than a brief hesitation, while the Changeling Queen merely stood at the bottom of the Landing Module stairs. Then she turned slightly and began walking away with effortless short bounds in the direction of a nearby large boulder that only Rainbow Dash's quick reflexes had kept them from hitting on their descent.
"What gives?" called out the landing crew's co-pilot. "I thought we had a prepared line for this. Twilight made me memorize it like a hundred times before we left, and she's yelling in my ear right now."
"I've got my long-range receiver turned off for the moment," said Chrysalis. She stopped and looked in the shadow behind the boulder with her head cocked to one side. "I swear your pony princess doesn't have to breathe when she's talking, and she's been driving me crazy ever since we landed."
"Yeah, that's Twilight." Dash paused for a moment and quickly added, "Horseton Control, that's not going out live, is it? Oh. Just a minute, Chrysalis is looking at something. We'll get back on script shortly."
"It's a device of some sort," mused Chrysalis. "I didn't think we put any space probes into this area. Let me pick it up and bring it into the sunlight... I can't pick it up for some reason. My magic is just sliding off. Just a moment. I'm going to turn on my receiver and consult Princess Booksmart."
"Twilight Sparkle to Lunar One, can you describe the object? It must have been really strange for you stop like that."
"Well, it's black like it should be," started Chrysalis, "with three legs and a roughly triangular body... You know, it almost looks like a piano."

I've tweaked the story title as per your suggestion... though not exactly as you suggested.
(For those wondering, it used to be "Mare Harmonium.")
