We seek to rediscover the art of the piano as the composer heard it on the instruments of the time;  to collect and study the instruments themselves, conserving many for history, and performing on many, so we might rediscover history’s magic.  We exhibit and curate instruments, tell the great stories of piano and society, and study the history of the piano, its technology and its builders.

Transposing 'clutch'

The lever will move the keys left or right a half-octave each way to permit the player to play in all the “keys.”  The cheekblocks are wide and have a slot to permit the action to disappear on each side.  It is known that Irving Berlin owned one.
