Dave Stewart’s Piano Auctions for $6,750
Share:
walk through of music history. Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Bryan Ferry, Annie
Lennox, Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney, and many others have all sat at these
keys and plied their trade. In addition, the piano has been featured on
literally hundreds of recordings.
Stewart, one of the founding members of
The Eurythmics, is also an incredible music producer. The instrument was part of
his studio set up. The auction also included a note from the artist verifying
the history behind this item.
The item was auctioned by Bonhams and
Butterfields in London on April 4. It was part of their Antique, Modern Pianos
and Keyboard Instruments Auction. The auction included over 50 lots. The grand
majority of the items were sold and several of them exceeded expectations.
Still, for all the classic instruments listed, it was the sale of a rock ‘n’
roll piano that got all the publicity.
Rumor has it that when the winner
claimed their new piano they were heard to mutter that “sweet dreams are made of
this.” Who are we to disagree?
