Ladies and gentlemen, the next lot up for sale: Lady Gaga’s childhood piano. We’ll start the bidding at … way too much money for us to even think of raising our paddle.<\/p>\n

That’s right: Now you can own the ivories once tinkled by Miss Stefani Germanotta before she metamorphosized into Lady Gaga.<\/p>\n

The upright piano goes up for auction next month through Julien’s Auctions at New York’s Hard Rock Cafe on May 21 and the price could go as high as $200,000.<\/p>\n

It was originally purchased by Gaga’s grandparents for $780 in 1966 and passed down to her parents. Gaga began practicing on it when she was four years old and eventually wrote her very first song, entitled Dollar Bills<\/em>, on it a year later.<\/p>\n

It was part of a “Women Who Rock” exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland from 2011-2012.<\/p>\n

Part of the proceeds from the sale will benefit her Born this Way Foundation.<\/p>\n
