This grand piano, which still has a magnificent appearance, is largely original and unrenovated. It was delivered at the time by the Munich piano manufacturer Alfred Schmid. The grand piano needs a complete restoration. The cast frame has the typical Bechstein cracks. The body also has a few blemishes. Despite all this, the grand piano offers a lot of potential.
