The piano was used on several occasions to make music with the Beatles and Pink Floyd and is expected to fetch up to £150,000 – not bad considering it only cost £250 new.

The Challen piano was used on a few Beatles tracks, one of which was “Paperback Writer,” which was one of my favorite tracks from the British band. Reuters believes that the same piano was used on a number of Pink Floyd tracks that featured on two of their biggest selling albums.

The piano had a long life at Abbey Road Studios, which started back in 1964, and was then retired in the 1980s. Stephen Maycock, a consultant for auctioneers Bonhams said that although it is hard to know what tracks the piano was used on, they can identify certain Beatles tracks – it’s the Pink Floyd ones that they have trouble with.

The August 15 auction will have a range of other items, which you can read more about one Reuters.
