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.
