The Piano Book
For more than 40 years I have been traveling the world, in person and online, in search of pianos – always looking for the special, unique pieces from the Golden Age of piano making. Even more fascinating than the instruments themselves are the people and their stories, in which the piano has often played an important role. 12 of these stories – all inspired by true events and yet fiction – as well as 88 pragmatic answers to exciting questions about the piano and two helpful checklists now fill the more than 400 pages of this book, available in German – and in English.
Especially popular: the checklist “What is my piano still worth?” and the guide “What to do if there is ivory on the keys?” – plus personal information about your own instrument.

12 moving stories...
Novelistic short stories inspired by true events, in which all names, characters, places, events and incidents are either products of the author’s imagination or used fictitiously.

Even though the answers to each individual question could fill entire specialist books, the aim is to give short answers for people interested in pianos who do not deal with these wonderful instruments professionally.

Everyone with an old piano faces two important questions:
1. What is my piano still worth?
