COMMISSION: This magnificent Blüthner Artcase concert grand is something very special - probably the only surviving example. It was designed by the famous architect Prof. Emanuel von Seidl (also for R. Strauss on the basis of an Ibach grand piano) and presented at the World Exhibition in Brussels in 1910. A very special design with beautiful details, including the inlaid Blüthner lettering on the keyboard lid. This Blüthner grand piano is in good original condition. It has been tuned and regulated recently.
