I didn't know what to post so I kept looking for ideas. Recently I saw a grand piano picture and yeah I got an idea. Had seen unique pianos all over the world, and then I asked about the most expensive grand piano ever.
And I got the results from the search :
Swarovsky Piano, plastered with Swarovsky crystals
Oh my God.. plastered with 8,000 hand-cut Swarovsky crystals? It was priced US$750,000, yeah the auction started in 2007 (it must be long long ago). And just imagined to put it under the spotlight, wtf it would be so shinee (it might look 'bling-bling'). The piano reminded me of Barbie movies. Dunno, I imagined Barbie as a princess dancing elegantly with a young prince in a royal ballroom, then playing a music accompanying the dance until the late night. But honestly, it made me think for a while, "It was simply ordinary grand piano, but the crystal plastered within made it so precious. So why don't people by only the crystals or the piano itself? It was kinda wasting money."
I wouldn't spend that much for the piano, I'd be better to find the cheaper one. Think economist, save the money!
Another source stated that Alma Tadema by Steinway & Sons has been the most expensive grand piano ever.
Alma Tadema by Steinway & Sons, note the rustic keys and little mural on the lid
I have seen this picture before, but I didn't know that what I've seen is the most expensive grand piano. Like this one, except for the rustic keys (someone has to clean it before). Simply it looked antique, with a pair of stools (2 stools, what for? looking for more spaces to sit and play?), and dark brown color (or maple or what's that I dunno, burgundy?). It was sold at auction in 1998 for $1.2 Million. O God, I didn't know what to say (should I hang myself?).
There might be other expensive pianos in other places, and I couldn't imagine for the price. If I could make a comparison with the upright one in my house, well I think I should kill myself to afford the expensive one LOL. But at last, just try to love what we own. Mine one is upright, brown, Richard-Meyer, but still I can play my favorite pieces there. So do the expensive pianos. I can also play my favorite pieces on it. If the comparison could be made based by this point of view, so what's the difference?
