Southport man selling 'magic' piano for £52,000

A "one of a kind" piano signed by some forty musical legends is up for sale for an eyewatering £52,000.

Owner Craig Manchester, from Southport, says there is "no other piano on Earth like it"

So many autographs on one piano is "unheard of", he says, plus this musical instrument is "magic".

Craig, who owns piano shop Tesoro Nero on Lord Street, told the ECHO: "This is a self-playing piano, so you can listen to whatever you want, whenever you want, it's like magic.

"This is a one of a kind, state-of-the-art piano, built to the very highest quality."

Craig says the piano was built with signed materials from the Las Vegas Hall of Fame.

He continued: "The biggest autograph is from the late superstar Michael Jackson. Others include Elton John, Keith Urban, Missy Elliott, Brandon Flowers and Monica.

"This is the only one in the world, and there will never be another piano like it."

Self-playing pianos contain an electro-mechanical mechanism that operates the piano action via programmed music recorded on perforated paper.
