Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner Random Question.. Where are Oscar Peterson's Pianos?

I'm sitting here listening to some Oscar Peterson music and I'm curious to know where are his pianos?
I guess this can be said about any of the famous pianists;where are their pianos?
Just a late night thought.....

last year, after his death, van cliburn's estate auctioned off his mothers 1869 bechstein and his 1916 Steinway D and split the proceeds to Julliard and Moscow conservatory. There was a lot of history in those pianos. The mother studied with Arthur Freidman

There's a Gershwin piano at the library of congress IIRC (at least it's somewhere at a government institution in DC), and another at Michigan State. The Michigan State Steinway is restored and in active use.

The Waldorf Astoria has one of Cole Porter's Steinways, a 1907. Reports vary as to whether it's playable.

Um...it's at the University of Michigan.

Same difference. (Says the woman who once owned a "Not Penn State" tee shirt during her undergraduate years at the University of Pennsylvania.)
