Before Frederic Chopin left England for Paris，he sold the piano to Lady Trotter for 80 pounds.Then Lady Trotter gave the piano to a relative.The piano later went to auction（拍賣）.At auction，it was sold to a man，and Cobbe then bought it from him.Now the antique instruments Cobbe collected include those that were owned or played by famous composers，including Purcell，Bach，Mozart，Mahler and Chopin.
