This rare concert grand piano is from the heyday of piano making - the Model 1 by J. Blüthner from the time before WWI. This grand piano has seen a lot. It was most recently privately owned for a long time, before that it was used at some point in the Pushkin School in Prenzlau. The grand piano has many visual and technical blemishes - but the substance is good. The music stand appears to have been replaced - on request, we will reinstall the elaborately carved Blüthner music stand as part of the restoration. The grand piano is still playable, but far below its capabilities. A great instrument.
