You can find the instrument in a scene in the film “Casablanca”, when Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) walks into the Cafe and says to pianist (Dooley Wilson): “Play it again, Sam”. Then, from the instrument flows the melody “As Time Goes By”.
Two years ago the piano was sold for more than $ 600,000 on the auction in New York. It was sold for $ 602,500 and turned out to be far below the expectations of the organizers. They expected the auction to end with the price two times greater then what was paid.
