Sting’s piano sells for …. how much?

Celebrity sells, we know that.

But would a Lang Lang Steinway fetch a fortune, or even a Martha Argerich?

A Steinway belonging to the pop musician Sting sold today at auction for £116,500.

Make that $162,634 or €147,722.

Absurd.

    It probably hasn’t had as much wear and tear as a Lang Lang or Argerich Steinway.

  • Robert says:

    When Lang Lang has had a career creating new work as long as Sting perhaps his piano will sell for as much as well.

    Roooooo xxxxx annne
    but how much does that piano cost if it were not belonging to Roxanne?

  • Minutewaltz says:

    I’d love to buy Lang Lang’s piano, but I’d have to marry an oligarch first…….

  • Calvin Bowman says:

    Norman, I recently purchased Samuel Barber’s childhood Steinway. Fortunately for me, the price was nothing like the above!

  • cornelis hofmann says:

    the worst is not the piano ‘item’ but his cd with songs of John Dowland….terrible!
