This Blüthner-Hupfeld Solophonola grand piano is probably unique in its design. The finish is decorated all over with oriental paintings (chinoiserie) – as is the bench made especially for the grand piano. The Phonola grand was equipped with the metal pneumatics that were very innovative at the time. The Blüthner grand has the well-known Aliquot system. The instrument is beautifully preserved and wonderfully usable again after a renovation. With such a magnificent design, converting it to a Tri-Phonola system would also be worth considering.
