Dieses Beispiel zeigt die Wiederherstellung eines über 100 Jahre alten Instrumentes, welches über die Jahrzehnte durch Nutzung und Alterung deutlich gelitten – insgesamt aber eine noch gute Substanz hatte. Dieser wunderschöne Salonflügel -noch aus der interessanten Übergangszeit von “Grotrian, Helfferich, Schulz – Nachf. Th. Steinweg” ist eines der schönsten Flügelmodelle aus dieser Zeit. Klang und die Dynamik sind absolut beeindruckend und scheuen den Vergleich mit einem kleinen Konzertflügel nicht.
After a very eventful history, the grand piano had previously been used in school for decades and then stood in an overheated storeroom for over 10 years. The soundboard was cracked several times due to drying out, several strings were missing, the action was completely worn out, the ivory coverings were heavily soiled and partially damaged. The body was badly damaged in several places, the lid was screwed together with a board at a break point and the keyboard lid was pierced twice. All parts of the grand piano were carefully restored and the surface was polished with shellac. After about a year, the renovation was complete. Today, this magnificent grand piano is owned by a passionate pianist in the south of France.
