After moving to 7 Cavendish Avenue, with Jane Asher on an American tour, and having fired his two housekeepers, McCartney invited Mal Evans to move in with him. According to Womack's Evans bio: Mal's quarters at 7 Cavendish Avenue were located in the basement, but his favorite part of the house was the third floor, where Paul had assembled a sumptuous music room. "We were to send many pleasant evenings in the little room at the top of the house," Mal wrote. The space was filled with instruments, but its centerpiece was "a very gaily decorated piano." Painted by Simon Posthuma and Marijke Koger -- Dutch artists who would adopt "the Fool" as the name of their design collective -- the piano had been designed by pop art designers Dudley Edwards and his partner Doulas Binder in October 1966. Because of its psychedelic imagery, Paul took to calling the instrument his "magic piano."
