the instrument
The grand piano ("german: Flügel) was made by the company J. Czapka's son (Jacob Czapka (founded 1842), Vienna, whose son, also Jakob, had apparently taken over the company)
Due to the Viennese mechanics, the attack itself is rather hard and stiff, but once the instrument is well tuned, it creates a warm, honey-like, very radiant sound in the heights and a very sonorous metallic sound in the depths.
The instrument has been lovingly restored and tuned by the Vienna Piano Gallery and by myself
