This grand piano, which still looks magnificent, is well preserved for its age. It was apparently refurbished decades ago, including the addition of Elfenit key coverings. At the time, it was delivered by the Dortmund piano manufacturer Franz Reinelt. The grand piano is still playable, but may require restoration.
