The paino used by John Lennon and Paul McCartney while filming the movie 'Help!' is set to go up for auction. 

The BBC reports that the 1907 Bechstein Concert Grand was to compose the title song to the iconic movie, according to the film's director Richard Lester, who is selling it.

Lester also claims that Sir Paul McCartney used it while writing the classic 'Yesterday'.

The piano is expected to go for over £50,000 when it is auctioned Omega Auctions  in Liverpool on 20 March, 2014. 

Earlier this month, Lester also announced that they would be auctioning the jakcets that George Harrison and Ringo Starr wore in 'Help!' -  which are expected to sell for between $82,000 and $115,000. The auction will feature more than 200 more Beatles artifacts.

"As Beatles clothing goes, these have got to be amongst the Holy Grail for any Beatles collector," said auctioneer Paul Fairweather said. "They feature on one of their most recognizable album covers and I have a feeling these could really fly off the block."
