The trend of auto manufacturers delving into the creation of products other than cars or car accessories has been seeing great popularity. Auto manufacturers have, in the past, produced watches, pens and other products. These new products carry the elegance and glamour of the related auto manufacturer.
The latest company to enter into the trend is Audi Design Studio. In collaboration with Austrian piano maker Bosendorf, Audi design Studio is in the process of creating a grand piano with the same style that they have acquired over years of experience. The grand piano, titled Audi Design Wing, is intended as an attempt to redesign a musical instrument which is quite unlike any automobile. Designer Philip Schlesinger led the team that was in charge of the project at the Concept Design Studio at Munich.

The National Association of Music Merchants, NAMM, is the most popular music products trade show by far, held in the first month of every year at Anaheim, California. The NAMM show this year sizzled not just with great music products but one of the most popular ladies of the music world, Alicia Keys.
Alicia was present at the show to promote Alicia’s Keys, her new digital keyboard. With the intention of designing a keyboard that can attract musicians from different backgrounds and made available at an affordable price, Alicia collaborated with sound engineers and programmers to create a keyboard that can digitally reproduce the exact sound desired by the musician. Though favouring her own baby, Alicia also took time to play the Yamaha AvantGarde electric grand piano which resonates with sound when played making the music physically palpable.

There is no dearth of availability of luxury slapped products to satiate the hunger for opulence amongst elite class. But little were we aware that the luxury makers are so cautious about the offerings being delivered for music-driven souls. After introducing you to bejeweled guitars, here sits bejeweled piano focused at soothing your senses via its affectionate, echoing and supporting tone of its wonderful music. Imagine a situation when you are asked to rest your fingers upon the Bösendorfer 7′4″ Semi-Concert Grand Piano that gleams with the glory of crystals. Slapped with 8,000 hand-cut Swarovski crystals and 24-karat gold accents, this deluxe 92 keyed music instrument looks elegant with its silver lining.
I doubt if there is any better way than this to exemplify the connection between this materialistic instrument and your music driven senses.
