Year of production: 1923
Serial number: 105674
Action: Bluthner Erard
Length: 2.78m
This rare concert grand piano is from the late heyday of piano making - the Model 1 by J. Blüthner from 1923. This grand piano has seen a lot. It has a permanently mounted carriage, which indicates that it was used in concert or school settings during its career. The cast frame is marked 115674, which is probably an incorrectly applied number following a renovation. The type and serial numbers inside confirm the 105674. After a necessary complete restoration, this will be another dream instrument. Curiously, this Blüthner grand stands on old Steinway & Sons legs - certainly a rare combination. In the course of the restoration, original Lyra legs will be made for this grand piano. On request we can provide pictures, recordings and information on a similar 1923 after restoration to show the potential.
