LONDON - A coffee-stained piano with ivories tinkled by pop greats the Beatles and Pink Floyd at London's Abbey Road studios is to be auctioned off at no less than 100,000 pounds. The battered Challen upright piano, covered in cigarette burns and coffee stains, can be heard on hits such as "Paperback Writer" and "Tomorrow Never Knows", both recorded in Abbey Road's Studio Three in 1966. The piano also features on Pink Floyd's 1973 "Dark Side of the Moon" LP. "I think it is the first instrument from the Abbey Road studios to come on the open market," Stephen Maycock, the consultant specialist for Beatles memorabilia at Bonhams auction house, told AFP. "The piano has had quite a few knocks. It's had coffee cups placed on it and it's got cigarette burns," he added. "It's a working instrument that was used pretty much every day of its working life, and it's got the scars to prove it. "But it still plays well and sounds great." The instrument retired from service in the 1980s and is now set to be sold at auction at the Vintage Goodwood festival in West Sussex, southeast England, on August 15. Bonhams expects the piano to fetch between 100,000 pounds (150,000 dollars, 119,000 euros) and 150,000 pounds. http://ppt.cc/r,Rc 大意是曾经被Beatles和Pink Floyd用过的钢琴(连结里有图)即将被拍卖，估计售 价约介於10万英镑到15万英镑。 Beatles用这台钢琴录了 Paperback Writer和Tomorrow Never Knows，Pink Floyd 则用这 台钢琴录了Dark Side of the Moon。 另一则报导里Pink Floyd是在做Wish You Were Here时使用这台钢琴 不是 Dark Side of the Moon ，不太清楚哪篇的可信度比较高。 http://ppt.cc/sZLj --
