Dumas Piano specialist of the Erard

15 September 2013

The parallel Erard

The Erard grand piano with parallel strings, dating from the 19th century, is a piano that we come across very often.

At the moment, we are restoring three of them.

  • The first one: our large Erard concert grand (2.50 m) from 1875.
  • The second one is for a client who is a great specialist of classical piano music; it is a model from 1878, with flowers and dragonflies decorations on the frame.
  • The third one: instrument of 1902 saved from an attic.
