Elton John must be losing his mind over the new CrystalRoc Piano. CrystalRoc and Steinway & Sons have teamed up to create a line of customizable Swarovski crystal-encrusted pianos.
Each CrystalRoc Piano is a one-of-a-kind with the buyer being able to choose their own color and unique crystallization style. These pianos start at $800,000, so it's a good bet that you won't be learning how to play 'Tiny Dancer' on one of these anytime soon.
