Sorry it's not exact !! In period Chopin the signature Pleyel is a beautifull stamp with :
I Pleyel et co Facteur du roi médailles d'or .... Never Pleyel put red felt ,and never he painting in gold the frame .... The tunning pin are rectangular ,same an harpsichord. ...And the felt of hammer is so soft ( grey generaly of rabbit ) here the sound is to hard . Is not Pleyel sound .... Sorry ! best regard for the exelent pianist .
@olipippocinque in my Pleyel from 1850 (No.16389) there are also the "modern" tuning pins, the golden frame and the signature like the one in the video. Did Pleyel change design around 1850? Unfortunately mine has also these aweful hard modern hammers...
wood (especially in piano's soundbord) changes with time widely - such instrument doesn't sound like durig chopin's times. only copies, or pianos with replaced soundboards can sounds like in those days
That's why Liszt always broke strings after his recital...

Narrower keys???...shorter travel....???? Thats cheating!!!
I guess it was a radically wonderful departure from the 1700's to their ears. (still sounds out of tune to me

We take for granted how glorified music of previous ages becomes on modern grands
