Enter into a piano store and you’ll see Baldwins range from $1000 on up.  But what about getting your special someone the most expensive new piano around?  Try on $1.2 million for size for the Kuhn Studio baby grand piano.

Say hello to the 7′4″ Kuhn-Bösendorfer baby grand piano.  A beautiful ebony black, this piano and matching bench are inset with 100,000 hand-cut jewels arranged into diamond patterns. 

This particular Kuhn has been eighteen months in the making as a collaboration between Vienna’s L. Bösendorfer Klavierfabrik GmbH and John Kuhn, the world’s most infamous glass sculptor.

Only question left is who is going to make this grand baby sing.
