John Lennon's musical instruments are diverse and numerous, and his remarkable fame generates his personal choices that have a powerful influence on cultural preferences.

Ikhtisar
John Lennon played various guitars with The Beatles and during his solo career, including Rickenbacker (four variants), Epiphone Casino, and various models of Gibson and Fender guitars.
The other choice instrument is the piano, where he also composed many songs. For example, Lennon jamming on piano along with Paul McCartney led to the creation of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in 1963.
But Lennon's musicians went far beyond guitar and piano. Julia Lennon is John's mother and his banjo is the first instrument John Lennon studied to play before he turned to the guitar: 'sitting there with endless patience until I successfully complete all the chords'. According to John, it was Julia who turned her into rock 'n' roll and actively encouraged her to pursue her musical ambitions. After Julia's sudden death in 1958, the instrument was never seen again and its existence remained a mystery.
Lennon also plays keyboards in addition to piano (electric piano, Hammond organ, harmonium, Mellotron, harpsichord, clavioline), saxophone, harmonica, six-string bass guitar (either he or George Harrison, when McCartney plays piano or guitar), and some percussion studio).
