Ibach dedicated the small concert grand model to Richard Wagner and documented this with the magnificent lettering on the cast-iron frame. Liszt is said to have commented on this rather mockingly. This grand piano has an eventful history around the time when Heligoland came to Germany in exchange for Zanzibar. It has suffered greatly over the decades and stood for a long time in unfavorable climatic conditions – at that time woodworm also attacked the grand piano badly. The legs, lyre and music desk were also modernized at some point. The grand piano needs a complete restoration and new legs, etc. made to match the originals in order to stand as magnificently as in 1890 again. On request, we offer this restoration.
