"Worn Down Piano" is a song by the American group The Mark & Clark Band, from their album Double Take.[1] The song was written in 1977 by twin brothers Clark and Mark Seymour. The record was produced by Ron Dante of Archies fame, and was released as a single.

The song (duration 8:10) is about a piano that is being bid for at an auction. It starts in 6/8 time and changes to 4/4 time at the beginning of the piano solo.

The song reached sixth place in the Dutch Top 40.[2] Since 2000, "Worn Down Piano" has consistently been in the Top 2000, a popular Dutch year-end list, peaking at number 59 in the 2002 edition.[3]
