This is a historically very interesting piano. We know of no other such early Feurich piano. Julius Feurich worked with Pleyel in Paris at the end of the 1840s and built his first pianos from 1851 onwards very much in the style of the leading French model at the time. He was the first to offer upright pianos in Germany, as up to that time mainly fortepianos and table pianos had been produced. This instrument is completely original and needs to be restored so that it can be used again.
