Article about it here: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-...o-dooley-wilsonNEW YORK (Reuters) - The piano from the Oscar-winning film "Casablanca" could fetch more than $1 million when it is sold at auction in New York next month on the 70th anniversary of the premiere of the classic movie, Sotheby's said on Tuesday.
The 58-key piano, on which actor and singer Dooley Wilson performed "As Time Goes By," has a pre-sale estimate of $800,000 to $1.2 million for the December 14 auction. I googled to see who made 58-key pianos. There were a few models back in the early 20th century of these things. For example: http://www.rayspiano.com/images/bv_img142.jpg (not the Casablanca piano)

I thought that piano was a dummy, and could not be played.
