Piano Used By BLACK SABBATH Sells For £13,100

A piano used by Black Sabbath among many others, from the famous Rockfield Studios just outside Monmouth, UK,  has sold on eBay for £13,100 (almost $19,000 US).

According to the listing:

“This is a rare chance to own a true piece of British rock history. We are reluctantly selling our Grand Piano as it has come to the end of it's life as a recording instrument. It is currently in our recording studio - Monnow Valley Studio - in South Wales.

The piano was bought new in the late 1980s from Cranes in Cardiff and has featured on some of the best known records in the world. Most famously, it appeared on the cover of the single which spawned Britpop - Oasis' Supersonic - and was used on their album 'Definitely Maybe', recorded here in 1993. It has been played by the majority of our client list - from The Charlatans, Catatonia, Manic Street Preachers, Black Sabbath, Stereophonics and Simple Minds to Charlie Simpson and Bellowhead... amongst many more!

It has been well used over the years, but is still very much a playable beginner's instrument. With two or three tunings a year, it will be stable enough for home use. For anything more, it would need a full refurb - however, the price fully reflects this. We anticipate that it would be of interest to either an Oasis super fan or someone looking for an entry level grand piano with the most interesting legacy in the country.

We have tried to photograph it as accurately as possible. It is still a stunning instrument, even with the bumps & scrapes (and red wine stains!). Each one telling the story of a moment in rock n roll!

You are welcome to view the piano in the studio.”
