Crystal Piano, Heintzman: $3.22 Million

Not only is it one of the costliest pianos in the world, it is also immensely gorgeous — a sight to behold. 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. The Crystal Piano was sold at an auction to an unknown bidder for a whopping amount of $3.22 million.
