The Heintzman crystal piano was used in the 2008 Beijing Olympics

Many classical musicians are grateful to the 2008 Beijing summer Olympics for giving classical piano music a lift; for presenting a great pianist playing a greatly unique piano.   The “Heintzman Crystal Piano,” played for millions of worldwide viewers by classical pianist and super-star Lang-Lang, was prominently showcased during the opening ceremonies.  The piano was created and built by Beijing’s Heintzman Piano Company. It was recently purchased for $3.22 million (USD) by a private bidder, making it the most expensive piano in history.
