Israeli Singer Rotem Cohen Sells Arik Einstein's Piano for $41,000

Israeli singer and songwriter Rotem Cohen is selling the piano that belonged to the late legendary Israeli singer Arik Einstein. Cohen is asking 150,000 shekels (approximately $41,000) for the instrument. Cohen purchased the piano about a decade ago for 48,000 shekels and has kept it in his home for the past ten years. He announced the sale on social media, stating, "10 years in my home. Now someone else will get to hold a piece of history." The asking price represents a more than threefold increase from his original purchase price. The piano is considered a historically significant item for fans of Israeli music, given its previous ownership by Einstein, one of the country's most celebrated artists. Items that belonged to Einstein have become collector's items with significant sentimental and monetary value since his passing.
