The High Point Museum is asking locals to help it purchase a piano owned and played by jazz legend John Coltrane, who spent his youth in High Point.
The museum is looking for 88 contributors to purchase each of the piano’s keys for $162.50 in an effort to raise the $14,300 needed to bring the piano home. The piano then would be displayed in the museum alongside other Coltrane memorabilia.
If I pay my $162.50 but they can’t raise all the money, do I get to keep my key? I’m doubting the value of this, by the way, since I can’t find one single picture of Coltrane playing a piano!
