Most people assume John Lennon wrote "Imagine" on the famous white Steinway grand piano that he bought for his wife Yoko on her 38th birthday. John Lennon performed "Imagine" on the white Steinway grand piano, but he wrote it on this Steinway upright piano. The piano is currently on display at the Musical Instrument Museum, https://www.mim.org - Phoenix, Arizona. It is on loan from pop singer and owner George Michael. Model Z (upright piano) Hamburg, Germany, 1969 Steinway & Sons, maker ... For John Lennon, 1970 was a momentous year. The Beatles officially disbanded that year, and Lennon, newly married to his second wife, the artist Yoko Ono, was emerging as an international spokesperson for peace. On December 15, 1970, Lennon purchased a Steinway Model Z upright piano and had it delivered to his home outside of London. The piano became integral to the creation of Lennon's solo music and is best remem- bered today as the instrument on which he composed his visionary plea for world peace, "Imagine." Based on a poem by Yoko Ono, the song gained added poignancy following Lennon's untimely passing in 1980, and remains one of the artist's most beloved tracks. Since 2006, the piano has toured the world in the name of peace. |
