There is a couple of large beautiful photographs of John's white Steinway piano in this link. Dailymail.UK July 23, 2011 John Lennon wrote Imagine on his white Steinway. What would you write on yours? Imagine no possessions? John Lennon wrote the lyrics, but he didn't stick to the idea. The Beatles star famously ordered a white grand piano from Steinway for his wife's 38th birthday in 1971. Inscribed on it was a simple message, 'For Yoko, Happy Birthday, love John.'To commemorate Lennon's 70th birthday last December, Steinway commissioned 100 replicas of Ono's original, which still stands in her New York flat. The first Imagine Series arrived at Steinway's London showroom last week. 'It's identical to the one Lennon bought for Yoko,' says Steinway's UK managing director, Glen Gough. www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-2016832/John-Lennon-wrote-Imagine-white-Steinway-What-write-yours.html
