Singer and songwriter Rotem Cohen has received a tempting offer of 200,000 shekels (approximately $55,000) from a businessman for the piano that once belonged to the late Israeli music legend Arik Einstein. Cohen had recently decided to sell the piano, which he acquired about a decade ago for 48,000 shekels, listing it for 150,000 shekels. He shared his farewell to the instrument on social media, noting that after 10 years in his home, someone else would now possess a piece of history. The businessman's offer significantly exceeds the initial asking price, by 50,000 shekels. Given the piano's rarity as a collector's item, it is possible the final sale price could be even higher. The instrument is closely associated with Einstein, a central figure in Israeli music history who passed away in 2013 and is remembered for numerous classic songs. The substantial increase from Cohen's original purchase price to the current offers highlights the piano's growing value and historical significance.
