	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.

	Steinway 7’2” Style 1 #20500 Rosewood

ALL SITE LINKS

New tubular action rail (begun only one year earlier), with whip stickers in a rocker “capstan”.

Agraffe termination in treble, without duplex scale

First Sold in December 1870 in New York City, this Style 1 Steinway is similar to the 1870 Style 2 #24681 loaned to Period Piano Center. They share the string scale, length, action, Patent Resonator, and basic cabinet style. However, the Style 2 has front duplex scaling, while this Style 1 does not. And the legs, while similar, are slightly different. Still, these pianos are mostly the same in design.
