In the market for a piano?
Those of you who are in the market for a piano might appreciate a look at this piano, which you might have been in the market for if you had lived at the turn of the 19th century, when piano technology was really taking flight.
There was no standard for pianos at that time and composers, like the rock stars of today, were given pianos by the producers/inventors much like manufacturers do today to get celebrity endorsements. Some of the details are astounding! And check out all those pedals!
