For anyone who has a few million pounds or dollars going spare, and for the rest of us…. here is our guide to the world’s most expensive instruments, from Charlie Parker’s saxophone to Rostropovich’s cello.<\/strong> <\/p>

Most expensive instruments ever<\/h2>
1. Louis XV special harp<\/h3>
Inspired by the Rococo style of French King Louis XV\u2019s time, this ornate harp<\/a> <\/strong>from Lyon & Healy has been nicknamed the Rolls Royce of harps, and not just because it looks so spectacular: the sound is apparently crystal clear. A worthy addition to any palatial ballroom, it carries a price tag of $189 000 (approximately \u00a3144, 000).<\/p>
<\/div><\/figure><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-casablanca-as-time-goes-by-piano\">2. <em>Casablanca<\/em> \u2018As Time Goes By\u2019 Piano<\/h3><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/instruments\/what-is-the-most-expensive-piano-in-the-world\"><b>most expensive piano<\/b><\/a><b> <\/b>ever sold at auction (for $3.4 million), this wooden upright with only 55 keys is a hugely symbolic part of the film <i>Casablanca. <\/i>Yes, it\u2019s the piano that Dooley Wilson\u2019s Sam is playing when Ingrid Bergman utters that unforgettable line \u2018Play it Sam, play \u2018As Time Goes By\u2019.<\/p><p>With its intricate gold and green Moroccan design it looks very distinctive. Under the keyboard, it’s a slightly less glamorous situation. Chewing gum is stuck to it: a souvenir from one of the actors apparently. Its sound, however, remains a mystery, given that the piano has never actually been played. In fact, Dooley Wilson was a talented musician. But the piano music was played by the offstage pianist Elliot Carpenter while Wilson acted out his part.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embedwrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Play it, Sam\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7vThuwa5RZU?start=2&feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/><\/div><\/figure><p>Interesting to note that another very expensive piano came up for sale in September 2023. The instrument in question was the Yamaha baby grand piano used by Queen singer and songwriter Freddie Mercury to compose a raft of the band’s biggest hits including ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.<\/p><p>Mercury’s Yamaha went up for auction along with many other personal items belonging to the great man. It duly fetched an impressive \u00a31.7 million, becoming one of the most expensive pianos of all time.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-messiah-stradivarius-violin\">3. ‘Messiah’ Stradivarius Violin<\/h3><p>Priced at $20 million, the so-called \u2018Messiah\u2019 was made by Antonio <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/articles\/what-stradivarius\">Stradivari<\/a><\/strong> in 1716, when the Italian violin-maker was at the height of his powers. However, it owes its fame and expense mainly to the like-new condition in which it has survived. <\/p><ul><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/articles\/which-performers-currently-own-stradivarius-violins-and-how-much-are-they-worth\">Which performers own Stradivarius violins and how much are they worth?<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>The instrument’s varnish is almost unworn, its carving is still razor sharp and the painted edge work on the scroll is still intact, the reason being that, unlike other Strads, which were regularly played, this one has always been a collector\u2019s piece.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embedwrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Messiah Stradivarius (1716)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oj3A5WG-fgo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/><\/div><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-group highlight-box is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-groupinner-container\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/instruments\/what-is-the-most-expensive-piano-in-the-world\"><b>What is the most expensive piano in the world?<\/b><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/instruments\/famous-pianos\"><b>10 most famous pianos<\/b><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/articles\/four-of-the-most-famous-violins-ever-made-and-who-owns-them-now\"><b>Four of the most famous violins ever made, and who owns them now<\/b><\/a><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/articles\/which-performers-currently-own-stradivarius-violins-and-how-much-are-they-worth\">Which performers currently own Stradivarius violins and how much are they worth?<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-duport-stradivarius-cello\">4. Duport Stradivarius Cello<\/h3><p>Named after one of its first owners, the 19th century cellist Jean-Louis Duport, this 1711 instrument has passed through some pretty illustrious hands. In fact, Napoleon Bonaparte himself once had a go at holding it. A dent – still visible on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/instruments\/whats-a-cello\">cello<\/a><\/strong> – is rumoured to have resulted from his rough handling while straddling the instrument with his boots.<\/p><ul><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/works\/best-cello-music\">Ten best cello works<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/works\/best-cello-concertos-of-all-time\">Greatest cello concertos of all time<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Aside from Duport, its players have included the 19th century French cellist August Franchomme. He said of the instrument: \u2018The more I contemplate it and the more I play it, the more prodigious I find it. What opulent wood! What magnificent varnish and what elegant, perfect workmanship! \u2026Its tone is extremely full, pure, smooth and distinguished and it has a surprising uniformity.\u2019<\/p><p>More recently, the cello was valued at around $20 million. It has been owned by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/artists\/mstislav-rostropovich\">Mstislav Rostropovich<\/a><\/strong>, who played it until his death in 2007.<\/p><ul><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/recordings\/mstislav-rostropovich-essential-recordings\">Mstislav Rostropovich: the essential recordings<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embedwrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rostropovich records the Prelude from Bach Cello Suite No.1 BWV 1007\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ml14kGHCBg0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/><\/div><\/figure><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-signed-fender-stratocaster-guitar\">5. Signed Fender Stratocaster guitar<\/h3><p>Next in our list of most expensive instruments is an interesting addition.<\/p><p>Here\u2019s an oddity among guitars in that this one was not owned by any famous musicians or featured on any famous recordings. It was, however, signed by an eye-watering roll call of stars, including Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, David Gilmour, Pete Townshend and Jeff Beck.<\/p><p>Auctioned off in 2005 by the charity Reach Out To Asia, an organisation founded to provide aid and support to the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, which killed over 200,000 people, it was purchased for $2.7 million – the largest sum ever paid for a guitar.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-of-the-most-expensive-instruments-ever\">More of the most expensive instruments ever<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-charlie-parker-grafton-alto-saxophone\">6. Charlie Parker Grafton Alto Saxophone<\/h3><p>This was the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/articles\/saxophone-invention\">saxophone<\/a><\/strong> that jazz legend Charlie Parker (one of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/artists\/greatest-jazz-saxophonists-ever\">greatest jazz saxophone players ever<\/a><\/strong>) played in a 1953 performance at Massey Hall. The other musicians were trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, pianist Bud Powell, bassist Charles Mingus, and drummer Max Roach. As the story goes, they had not rehearsed together before their performance with Parker. He then rocked up to the venue without his instrument, having recently pawned it (some say to buy heroin). <\/p><p>At the last minute, one of the musicians in the quintet supposedly found the plastic saxophone for Parker to play and the resulting performance went down in history as one of the greatest jazz performances ever.<\/p><p>Made of cream acrylic, the instrument fetched $140,000 at auction in 1994. This is the highest sum ever paid for a saxophone. It’s currently on exhibit at the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City – Charlie Parker\u2019s home town.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embedwrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Peter KING plays the GRAFTON sax of CHARLIE PARKER\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MjY1NPUUp9U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/><\/div><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-group highlight-box is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-groupinner-container\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/instruments\/britains-best-music-museums-our-most-famous-musical-instrument-collections\"><b>Britain’s best music museums: our most famous musical instrument collections<\/b><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/instruments\/worlds-oldest-musical-instrument\"><b>What’s the world’s oldest musical instrument?<\/b><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/instruments\/childrens-musical-instruments\"><b>Musical instruments for children: 10 of the best<\/b><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-macdonald-stradivarius-viola\">7.

But, like the \u2018Messiah\u2019 violin, the Macdonald <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/instruments\/what-difference-between-violin-and-viola\">viola<\/a><\/strong> owes some of its value to its preservation. Kept primarily in storage, the 1719 instrument missed out on decades\u2019 worth of wear and tear. That will have helped it to become one of the world’s most cherished and expensive instruments.<\/p><ul><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/works\/best-viola-musi\">Viola music: 12 of the best works<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/artists\/best-viola-players\">Best viola players: 12 of the greatest ever<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Then there\u2019s the rarity value, given that Stradivari only made about 15 violas altogether. Not only is the Macdonald one of only 11 Strad violas that still survive today, but it\u2019s the only one in the world that isn\u2019t owned by a museum, foundation, or government, and thus available for private purchase.
