Piano Played by a Young Stevie Wonder to Be Displayed at Kentucky Museum

Facebook.com/StevieWonderA piano Stevie Wonder played when he was a youngster will soon be put on display at the Museum of the American Printing House for the Blind in Louisville, Kentucky.  The 1922 Steinway grand piano, which used to be housed at the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing, Michigan, is being loaned indefinitely to the Kentucky museum and will be a part of an exhibit that opens on October 11.

According to Louisville's Courier-Journal, the Motown legend used to tickle the ivories of the instrument when he was a student at the Michigan School for the Blind during the mid 1960s.  The 62-year-old Wonder was a child prodigy who signed with Motown when he was just 11 years old.

The American Printing House for the Blind is the largest company in the world that focuses specifically on manufacturing products for those who are unable to see or have impaired vision.
