Elton's piano sold in Caribou studio auction
Monday, January 26 2015 |
Auctioneers have sold nearly 500 items from a recording studio that put the Rocky Mountains on the rock and roll map.
The sale was held January 24, 2015 at Caribou Ranch near Nederland, Colorado, where stars like Michael Jackson and Elton John recorded in a converted barn and relaxed in cabins named for Native American chiefs.
Highlights included an antique mahogany Steinway & Sons grand piano used by Elton and a Gibson bass guitar said to have been played by Chicago band musician Terry Kath. No estimate was available on the money raised.
The Denver Post reports that producer James Guercio turned the ranch into a major recording studio in the 1970s. A fire damaged the control room in 1985. The 1,600-acre ranch was sold last year, setting the stage for the auction.
