Chinese Splashed Out $3.22 Million On “Crystal Piano”

Chinese private bidder splashed out 22 million yuan (USD 3.22 million) on the one of the most famous precious pianos in the world – called “Crystal Piano”, when it went under the hammer at a recent auction in Beijing.
Designed by Canadian piano manufacturer Heintzman Pianos, the immensely beautiful nine-foot musical instrument has a transparent body and futuristic look.

It was exclusively made for large concert hall performances. It made its debut in front of the world during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games when Chinese pianist Lang Lang played a rendition of the Yellow River Cantata before a global audience.
