In 2020, Kurt Cobain's 1959 Martin D-18E acoustic guitar broke the record for most expensive guitar ever sold at auction when Peter Freedman of Rode Microphones bought it for $6 million. At the time, Freedman said he planned to exhibit the guitar — which is the one Cobain used when Nirvana performed on MTV Unplugged in 1993 — in a touring exhibition, with proceeds going to the performing arts.
“I am delighted to gift this iconic guitar to the Royal College of Music so that they might realize the guitar’s value and profile for the benefit of young musicians at the RCM and reach people around the world," Freedman said. "This gift is dedicated to my father Henry who loved music and London, and it’s an honor for me to support the next generation of musicians.”
“This asset opens future opportunities to share the Kurt Cobain Unplugged exhibition with an international audience; it is also emblematic of Peter’s unstinting support for the performing arts and his steadfast belief in the power of education to transform lives," he added.
