Pre-Owned Period Performance Instruments

6’ Paris Erard Grand 107472  ca. 1917  $12,995

This exquisite flat-strung instrument  is in excellent service condition and appearance, and has considerable performance life ahead of it.  The Erard’s design was from the 1830s, and the conservative insistence by the company to continue its once-innovative designs make it possible for us to have these remarkable examples of mid-century esthetic.  Recommended for the period performance of mid- and late-19th century piano literature through Debussy and Ravel.  The pinblock has a production-built brass overlay which dramatically reduces failure.
