World’s Most Expensive Piano?
Liberace would have loved this piano. According to Musical America, spotlights dance down on 216 jewels of lead crystal, set in dazzling diamond patterns into the piano’s black lid, sides, legs, fallboard and bench. Each jewel features several hundred to several thousand intricately cut, ground and polished pieces of crystal — nearly a half-million in all. Renowned Winston-Salem glass artist Jon Kuhn joined talents with the Bosendorfer piano company of Austria to fashion this limited-edition 7-foot-4-inch concert grand.
