John Lennon

In this piece of text that talks about the clavioline, it states that John Lennon used a clavioline on "Baby, You're a Rich Man".

"The Clavioline played a range of sounds or tone colours to approximate various orchestral instruments such as bowed strings, brass and woodwinds as well as plectrum and percussive instruments. However, it was its unique sound that gave a distinctive feature to several compositions by top performers such as Del Shannon on his 1961 hit "Runaway" (which used a modified Clavioline), The Tornadoes on "Telstar" in 1963 and later by John Lennon in June 1967 when recording "Baby, You're A Rich Man", with The Beatles."

In 1979, John Lennon and Yoko Ono spent part of the summer at their friend Sam Green’s house on Fire Island, New York. Yoko thought the creative atmosphere at Green’s house would help inspire Lennon to write songs for their new album, so she had this piano shipped to the beach house. Lennon played this piano often and wrote several of the songs from Double Fantasy on this piano. The candle wax melted on the piano while he was playing. The Piano can now be seen at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
