Piano Used By LED ZEPPELIN, BLACK SABBATH Given To Teenager

December 13, 2007

ThisisNottingham.co.uk reports: A teenager given a beaten-up piano used by LED ZEPPELIN has said that learning to play her instrument was no stairway to heaven.

Emily Davies, 17, from the Forest of Dean [England], has been taught to play on the piano used by rock legends including QUEEN, BLACK SABBATH and LED ZEP, who used it to rehearse their eighth and last album "In Through The Out Door" in 1978.

While she might be the envy of fans who attended the band's comeback gig on Monday, she said the piano was "not the best she had ever played on".

She said her piano was "hammered" when bands, which also included DEEP PURPLE and WHITESNAKE, came to stay at the piano's former home at Clearwell Castle, Gloucestershire.
