The most expensive piano ever sold in History

[Hauptwerkgek]

Must give a pretty nice sound when it hits the ground after a fall from an eight-storey apartment..

[Hauptwerkgek]

必須是一個白痴，誰買了這件事情



[allthenamesrtook]

wrong, the most expensive piano ever sold was for £2.4 million so thats about $3.5 million dollars, it is also a replica of an original piano that was burnt, it is the only one in the world and is made by stienway as part of their legendary collection and is currently owned by a university somewhere

[ayaybibi]

hmm, I wonder, if crystals can enrich the piano sound as much as woods can, it's more of an extravegance, typical asian materialistic features........

[slow758]

It's made outta crystal and has a starting price of 1.5mil USD (bidding price), used to perform for the Beijing 2008 Olympics and it's custom made.

[gabrielloart]

made of plastic-it's fantastic :D ugly oh ugly...

[bugattisupersport100]

its fucking ugly. made of silver, platainum, chrome, ect ect. i wouldnt be suprised if it was made of fucking kitchen foil.

[ghitaciprian]

pfffffffffff

[AngaratoC]

He looks like a plastic piano.

[mr4y]

Give me a Boesendorfer 290 Imperial Grand instead of this abomination. Cheaper and has 97 keys.

[FTnest]

I'd rather buy Yoshiki's original crystal piano over this. Who agrees?

[p1oooop]

crystal eh?

[mr4y]

The most expensive piano is actually Steinway's oldest grand piano in showroom condition, costing 10 million bucks.

[WulfBand]

I bought 2, 1 to play & 1 to shoot with my shotgun :)

[normgood11]

If Top Gear presented a car without test driving it and revving the engine, we would feel ripped off! You presented a piano without testing it and letting hear us its sound, we feel ripped off. 1/10 and a thumbs down. (May as well just take this video down)

[viharsarok]

@normgood11 So true.

[ThePmmat05]

It is better for yamaha or bellwood.

[midlifecruiser63]

Haha, wer Hunde und Katzen frisst gibt auch $3,22 Mio. für Müll aus.

[mario54671]

Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's good. ;) I heard of a Yamaha grand piano being sold for $500,000. A brand new Blüthner can be about $90,000, usually less if you want a smaller one like a 6 foot. Personally, I'd take a Blüthner or Bösendorfer, or even a Bechstein over a Yamaha any day.

[ANGELBLU2042]

@mario54671 A Rubenstein largest stretch grand goes for $650,000.

[ANGELBLU2042]

@mario54671 a Rubenstein largest stretch grand sells for about $650,000.

[animesis]

I imagine it sounds terrible, without the wooden case so much natural resonance will be removed and replaced with whatever that "crystal" case can do, and be a hard head material I doubt highly if its pleasant.

[MuseDuCafe]

There will never be an accounting for lack of taste or tastelessness - nor an accounting of the vulgarian with too much money who will pay for tasteless things.

[iknowyoubutyoudont]

This isnt true

If you unterstand chinese the guy says 100,000,000 (100million) RMB

100,000,000 RMB divided by 6.6=15,100,000 USD

then by the valued price

is around 10million USD

[08skye]

3.2 million OK??? R U for reals? I am glad someone has that kind of money for tunes. So who cares JK? NOT. It depends on who is behind the keys anyway. Anything in tune would work if talent was playing.

[againstallpractices]

im just imagining one of those stereotypical old cartoon situations...

[1m1nth3m0b2]

i dont need to understand the gibberish they are speaking to understand that it looks nice but i want to hear the sound of the piano before i even consider it

[chu89]

pa q kiero ver esto si no lo entiendo!?????

[sparklnkitty]

Boston is Kawai made, but not even made in Japan!

[rick56joel]

Hello China, you should just row your boat across the water to Japan and buy a Yamaha, take the extra money you saved and learn to play it, then learn how to make videos. Now what will you do with the other 3.2 million? What a waste of my time. If you ever want to buy another piano, i'll make you a great deal on a Korean made Boston for only 1.5 million.

[classytrebor]

Blow my speakers why don't you!!

[EdwardLaiPY]

lol..he say using crystal to make it..really ar? 看起來像plastic...HAHAHA==

[TheDeathknight79]

sarcasm? the most expensive piano MADE in CHINA?

[normgood11]

@TheDeathknight79 Irony

[RobinPratt]

SWEET!!!

[willemvdr12]

and, that thing is fucking ugly. you can see boults and stuff, it's not relaxing to see that piano, it gives me a lot of stress! And the material doesn't transfer the soundwaves as good as wood, I guess it doesn't have a warm sound, but a cold clear sound only.

[willemvdr12]

what the hell is he saying?

[lhrmeonom]

This is what I mean about China, you think "Oh the glory of Olympic in China!!" you'd think they'd save the piano in a show room for pride. No, they sold it.

[supersonicdrawer]

lang lang will have an orgy when he sees that!

[atkinpoop]

I bet it sounds crap

[sal198500]

Tacky and made in china? Who would have thought.

[Chipz1515]

Why buy something you can't use. -_-'

[123vuiqua123]

ummm is it made out of metal????

[oskkin224]

I would never buy such expensive piano with the tag "made in China".

[gainweighttoday]

@oskkin224

I would never buy a plastic piano...

[teriyakipuppy]

@oskkin224 Almost everything is made in china nowadays. More so than you'd think.

[zzzxtreme]

@oskkin224 Hailun makes great pianos. some even legendary status

[pizzachrercksz]

doesnt look good for me

[dadnapt24]

I would never play it becaus, of my luck The legs will break and I will have to pay $3.22 million!!

[Mrmusicmaster88]

i will never play on that...im afraid that the tone will be too hard and harsh

[scubis]

wow.. pack of non musical individuals covered this story.. they dont even show it being played or just the sound of it.. waste of time covering this story

[roverkim]

@scubis They don't play it because it doesn't work. 

[mathieuemi666]

@scubis How stupid is that video. 1:42 of showing a piano and we can't hear it...

It's like taking a cooking lesson and you can't eat anything.

It's like taking a driving lesson and never start the engine.

It's like going in a plane and not take off.

It's like skiing without snow.

It's like surfing on a lake.

It's inappropriate and useless. The essence of the thing, the most important experience is missing.

MUSIC IS NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH IT COSTS. Music has the value you give to it.

[BIackMoonCGI]

@mathieuemi666 - It's like rain on your wedding day

It's like a free ride that you just can't take.

[hodge12009]

gimmick

[anobxyo]

its expensive but its not good as a piano.
