Wait!  Before you call it a PSO and say it's worth hardly anything, remember 
there are special circumstances:

Piano That Belonged to Elvis Is Sold

.c The Associated Press 

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - A white Knabe grand piano once owned by Elvis Presley 
sold this week for $685,000.

Memphis guitarist-music producer Robert A. Johnson and partner Larry Moss 
sold the piano Monday to Michael Muzio, chairman of Blue Moon Group Inc.

Muzio said he hopes to put the piano on a casino-sponsored promotional tour 
and then use it for an exhibit at a proposed rock museum in Walt Disney 
World.

He also acquired Johnson's Memphis Music label and several other pieces of 
rock memorabilia, including a Presley guitar. Muzio said he paid a total of 
$1.3 million for the properties.

Presley's friend George Klein said Elvis enjoyed playing the piano at his 
Graceland mansion.

Graceland memorabilia consultant John Heath said Presley purchased the piano 
after he bought Graceland and used it until 1969, when his wife, Priscilla 
Presley, gave him a new Steinway grand piano.
