This is just one of my restored pianos that I would like to sell as I have to make room for another piano.

One of many videos I be listing to show how a fully restored early Bluthner upright plays!
The piano is straight strung and over damped!
Many people view this design as inferior compared to overstrung/underdamped pianos because a lot of furniture manufactures in the early 1900's decided to try and make pianos with know real knowledge.

With Bluthner's & Bechstein's this design and quality often out performs many lesser well known overstrung/underdamped pianos.

I have a lot of other pianos in my collection and over this year I will record how the music sounds on the following: Bluthner Style 7 Aliquot grand, 3 Bluthner uprights, Ibach double overstrung grand, Bechstein model III upright, John Brinsmead 5' 2" grand and a Ronish upright.

Thank you for viewing,

Robert

  • Who is the amature that plays?

  • Maybe you could pop a video up and show me how you would play it and also record it with a 10 year old camcorder?

  • It's Chopin's Etude Opus 10 number 5

  • Thank you for your comment, but I could not get its AKA and its official name in the title.

  • It sounds a little wooden. Would anyone agree? - Perhaps the soundboard is damaged !
