Lady Gaga's childhood upright piano is getting set to hit the auction block with a pre-sale estimate of $100,000 to $200,000.
The piano was purchased for Gaga by her grandparents for $780 in 1966 and later given to her parents.
The piano is being offered at Julien's Auctions' "Music Icons" memorabilia sale at the Hard Rock Cafe New York on May 21. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the piano will benefit the Born This Way Foundation, launched by Gaga in 2012 to empower youth. The organization also addresses issues of bullying, poor body image, and acceptance and tolerance.
The Everett Piano Co. instrument was featured in a 2011-2012 "Women Who Rock" exhibition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland.
