Beethoven's Broadwood grand, 1817. Owned by Liszt and eventually given to the Hungarian National Museum, The hammers were felted at a later date to modernize the action, a move which the moths thoroughly approved of.

Modern-luxury-piano-room-interior

Piano far less grand, but it does not mean that it has to be treated the least responsible. A piano can be placed in a classic interior design...

A Piano Spectacular for 80 Fingers

FOR the promoters of tonight's Steinway Spectacular at Hamer Hall, finding eight grand pianos for rehearsals in Melbourne was always going to be tough.
The Steinway Spectacular returns for an extraordinary music event...
The eight pianists will work as an ensemble to perform new arrangements of classical favourites, including Ravel’s Bolero, Rhapsody in Blue, Percy Grainger’s Merriment, Pictures at an Exhibition, Handel Medley, the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony and a new 80-finger version of Chopsticks!
