Music

The 24-karat gold-leaf piano and the drum skin bearing the Fab Four signature logo will go under the hammer on November 7.

AceShowbiz - Elvis Presley and The Beatles memorabilia are among the items listed at Julien's Auctions on November 7. Presley's 24-karat gold grand piano will be sold to highest bidder along with a drum skin featuring the Fab Four signature logo with a dropped "T."

The late King of Rock N' Roll originally bought the piano in 1955 as a gift for his mother. He placed it in storage after she died, but Priscilla Presley took it out of the vault and adorned the original walnut finish with gold-leaf for her first wedding anniversary with the singer.

The piano along with the matching bench has been on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville for years. The man who acquired it from Graceland years ago chooses to remain anonymous. The music instrument is expected to fetch between $500,000 - $700,000.

Meanwhile, the Beatles drum skin is from the drum kit played by Ringo Starr during the band's first U.S. visit in 1960s. It's used when the group performed live on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in New York in 1964 and their concerts in Washington D.C. and New York's Carnegie Hall.
