I just completed the purchase of a John Lennon Imagine Steinway Grand Piano to complete THE IMAGINE COLLECTION with John’s Rolls and Yoko’s Bentley.
SEVEN UNIQUE LIMITED EDITION SERIES
The music desk of each piano incorporates one of seven unique John Lennon original drawings. “Come Together,” the title of the opening track on the Beatles’ historic Abbey Road album, reflects John Lennon’s desire to bring people together. “Grand Piano” (no longer available) is a drawing that captures the songwriting process — as musician and piano become one. “Freda People” exemplifies John Lennon’s passion for using music for the benefit of mankind. “Self Portrait” (no longer available) is perhaps John Lennon’s most famous drawing — despite the simplicity, it’s unmistakably John. “Borrowed Time” includes a sketch of an upright piano, such as the legendary STEINWAY on which Lennon composed “Imagine.” “Frog Pondering” perfectly demonstrates a blend of the creative and playful sides of Lennon. In “Power to the People,” we see a combination of Lennon’s love for freedom, as well as of New York, with his rendition of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.
The soundboard of every Imagine piano is graced by a full color decal, also based on a drawing from John Lennon.
A portion of the proceeds from the Imagine piano sold by STEINWAY & SONS was donated to The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus.
This STEINWAY LIMITED EDITION piano has concluded its run and is no longer being produced by STEINWAY & SONS.
This mobile exhibition can be utilized for the Grand Opening here and other Hotel locations or it could be a permanent attraction for additional build out of Beatle’s English themed pubs and grub in the hotel. Can you IMAGINE the piano playing in the lobby when you check in?
