A New York recording studio piano believed to have been played by John Lennon just hours before he was shot dead in 1980 is being sold for $375,000, the dealer handling the sale said.
The piano belonged to New Yorks Record Plant Studios and Lennon would use it to compose new material and record songs, according to the seller, Moments In Time, a memorabilia specialist located just north of New York City. According to the seller, Lennon fell in love with the upright grand pianos nostalgic sound and had it moved to whichever studio he was using. He last played it on December 8, 1980 the day he was gunned down in New York. The piano comes with a document signed by former Record Plant sound engineer Jack Douglas, who says the piano was also played by Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend from The Who and Don McLean during sessions for the hit song American Pie.
