Paul Sorvino, the actor who played the mob patriarch Paul Cicero in the 1990 hit film “Goodfellas,” is also a pianist, and he’s auctioning off his extremely valuable 1939 Steinway Grand piano on eBay to help prevent horse slaughter.
“We are very grateful for the support of Paul Sorvino, who is giving up the piano he loves so much to raise funds to help stop the auction of horses to kill buyers,” Deibel says. “I am encouraged to continue on in my rescue efforts because of the wonderful support from Mr. Sorvino and others.’
Sorvino, an animal lover all his life, has owned the $100,000-insured piano for the past two decades. The piano was completely restored 10 years ago with a new sound board, strings, pin block and Renner action. The Steinway, which has a French polish walnut finish, has just had a complete action renovation, including new hammers, by master piano technician, Chris Solliday. The piano comes with a wood bench and an upholstered Steinway adjustable bench.

that is so awsome! great article
As a pianist and equestrian I found this very interesting!!
He is so generous!
that is so nice of him!!
I am totally thrilled to see this. I don’t know how many actors out there do this, but I am proud of those who do take action on this matter. Thank you Mr. Sorvino for your kind action in letting your piano go, for the well being of unwanted horses. I wish I had the means to do the same..I would take every last one that would fit. Michigan has plenty of horses that are lawn orniments and then become to ugly in the owners eyes and let them starve to death or push them off to a terrifying ending. Thanks again.
Awesome, what a great guy togive back to the helpless.
Bravo! Paul Sorvino.
