[分享] Piano used by Beatles and Pink Floyd for Sale
LONDON - A coffee-stained piano with ivories tinkled by pop greats the
Beatles and Pink Floyd at London's Abbey Road studios is to be auctioned off
at no less than 100,000 pounds.
The battered Challen upright piano, covered in cigarette burns and coffee
stains, can be heard on hits such as "Paperback Writer" and "Tomorrow Never
Knows", both recorded in Abbey Road's Studio Three in 1966.
The piano also features on Pink Floyd's 1973 "Dark Side of the Moon" LP.
"I think it is the first instrument from the Abbey Road studios to come on
the open market," Stephen Maycock, the consultant specialist for Beatles
memorabilia at Bonhams auction house, told AFP.
"The piano has had quite a few knocks. It's had coffee cups placed on it and
it's got cigarette burns," he added.
"It's a working instrument that was used pretty much every day of its working
life, and it's got the scars to prove it.
"But it still plays well and sounds great."
The instrument retired from service in the 1980s and is now set to be sold at
auction at the Vintage Goodwood festival in West Sussex, southeast England,
on August 15.
Bonhams expects the piano to fetch between 100,000 pounds (150,000 dollars,
119,000 euros) and 150,000 pounds.

大意是曾經被Beatles和Pink Floyd用過的鋼琴(連結裡有圖)即將被拍賣，估計售
價約介於10萬英鎊到15萬英鎊。
Beatles用這台鋼琴錄了 Paperback Writer和Tomorrow Never Knows，Pink Floyd 則用這
台鋼琴錄了Dark Side of the Moon。
另一則報導裡Pink Floyd是在做Wish You Were Here時使用這台鋼琴
不是 Dark Side of the Moon ，不太清楚哪篇的可信度比較高。
