PIANOFORTE 1900
FOUR PRICELESS ANTIQUE PIANOS IN ONE EXCLUSIVE PACKAGE
Pianoforte 1900 is a collection of four exquisite antique pianos, three of which are grand and one of which is upright. The pianos found in this majestic collection were all manufactured in the early 1900s. Toward the end of the 1880s, Steinway manufactured the first modern-day piano, featuring 88 keys.
This is truly a priceless and timeless collection, owing to not just the age of the pianos (110 years old), but their impeccable quality too. What’s more, these pianos sound drastically different from today’s pianos. These antique counterparts tend to have less overbearing bass and more or a crisp sound with uneven dynamics at certain intervals. Each piano found in this collection also, of course, features a set of distinct characteristics that make each undeniable one-of-a-kind.
TYPES OF PIANOS
ANTIQUE BECHSTEIN
This is a Bechstein Grand Piano manufactured around 1897. This particular instrument delivers a sound that’s typically “Old Bechstein,” with a more “primitive” attack and less body resonance.
ANTIQUE STEINWAY
This sublime Steinway D Grand Piano dates back to 1902, and is still in unbelievably pristine condition. The piano offers a characteristically and undeniably Steinway sound, with plenty of dynamics and resonances that effortlessly compete with modern Steinway pianos.
LOST PEARL
This classic and elegant Erard Grand Piano was created in 1883. Sebastian Erard was a French instrument maker and piano manufacturer of German origin – a craftsman who shared the same position as Steinway in the 19th century. Today, it is hard to find anyone as talented, or with such tenacity, as men like these. This particular piano has 83 keys.
ANTIQUE UPRIGHT
This vintage upright piano was manufactured in 1903, and has a breath-taking sound that’s entirely its own – making it completely unique from other uprights.
