This large concert grand piano (Mod 20) was completed on November 20, 1885 and only delivered to the Baroness von Griesheim Dornholzhausen 13 years later (1898). The grand piano has seen a lot over the decades and has obviously been used a lot. It has also been unprofessionally partially renovated in the past. It needs a complete restoration in order to be fit for use again. This early grand piano model is now very rare worldwide.
