In the 1960s and 1980s, many brands of small upright pianos were designed in a walnut or oak finish that was considered modern at the time, beveled and without brackets, which is hardly considered visually attractive today. However, as some of these pianos were very beautiful, the conversion to a modern body is worthwhile.
In diesem Falle haben wir ein technisch sehr gut erhaltenes und klanglich sehr ansprechendes Blüthner Piano Mod 112 in einen modernen schwarzen Korpus mit 1,18m Höhe umgebaut. So bereitet es weiter viel Freude – und ist jetzt auch optisch wieder ein Hingucker. Heute steht dieses Piano in wertschätzendem Besitz in den Niederlanden.
