Collard & Collard 6' grand piano

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Phil Collins was using a vintage straight-strung 1820 Collard & Collard 6-foot grand piano, which resided at his Old Croft home studio.

The piano was inherited from his Great Aunt Daisy, who had passed away. In fact, it was on this piano that his Aunt Daisy taught him how to play the piano when he was younger.

He wrote and recorded many songs from the Face Value (1981) and Hello, I Must Be Going (1982) albums with this piano. In the mid-1980s, around the time of No Jacket Required, Phil switched to the newer Yamaha CP-70.

The Collard & Collard piano is currently in storage as an antique, but has undergone restoration.
