This Hupfeld DEA Rönisch piano is an early model. Surprisingly, the date 1920 is written on the patent plaque inside - either the instrument was in the showrooms for so long or the plaque was updated later. The self-playing mechanism was renovated a few years ago. The acoustic piano is original and was overhauled at the time. The oak body is unrestored and has visible veneer damage - and the lower front lid is missing.
