This is the only Blüthner 73 phonola grand piano known to us in this magnificent state of preservation. The acoustic Blüthner grand piano is in its original condition and still sounds wonderful. The Hupfeld phonola mechanism was partially overhauled years ago and still plays acceptably. The first owner of this instrument was the famous Bremen entrepreneurial family Willy Dose.
