Turbulent history
The piano by Wm. Knabe & Co. from the year 1912 tells an extraordinary story and was performed by different music legends for almost a century. In the 1930s, it was at the Ellis Auditorium in Memphis, where, among other things, the hands of the musicians W.C. Cell phone, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Cab Calloway slide over its buttons. In 1957 Elvis Presley got it and rebuilt it according to his ideas. In his house he used it as one of his favorite instruments for practice, for performances and jam sessions in the following years. The King of Rock'n'Roll was photographed on this piano for various daytime events in Memphis.

Revenues create listening experiences
Experts estimate the value of the piano at 2.5 to 5 million dollars and expect a record price at the auction. The Starkey Hearing Foundation's work is supported with a portion of the proceeds. The foundation operates worldwide in cooperation with local partners and supports hearing impaired people who can not afford hearing aids themselves.

Unbreakable enthusiasm on eBay
Elvis-Presley products are available every day on eBay. Also at ebay.de the demand for Elvis products is still great. In the last 12 months (30.07.2016-30.07.2017), an average of 32 Elvis Presley plates were sold there every day.
