It’s arguably the most famous piano coda in rock history, and now the piano that it was performed on is up for sale. The song in question is Derek & The Dominos' Layla, and the piano is a Baldwin grand that, for four decades, was used at Criteria Studios in Miami.
The piano was built in the late 1920s. Eaton & Brennan Auctions, which is handling the sale, assures us that it “embodies the rich, warm sound of that era and has retained its impeccable tone”. It’s also believed to have been used on The Bee Gees’ Saturday Night Fever, and played at other times by Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles.
