Hi Folks. I was just watching the news and saw that John Lennon's Steinway "Z" vertical he bought in 1970 for about $1,000 pounds and on which he composed "Imagine" sold at auction today to an anonymous buyer for 1.5 million pounds ($2,080,000 USD or a cool $3 million CDN)! See http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20001017/re/britain_lennon_dc_8.html Let's hope it remains on display in a museum rather than sitting in Michael Jackson's (for example only) living room! Does anyone know anything about this model? I've seen a "V" (lovely piano!), but never a "Z". Is it properly called a "Zed" or a "Zee"? It looked like a continental-style 1098... but at two million bucks perish the thought!
