Fortepianos

esides restoring original antique pianos, we also make new reproductions of fortepianos to commission. These instruments take over one year to make, and are entirely hand-built by us.

Our instruments are based on original fortepianos by the great Viennese   makers and are ideally placed for the music of the Classical and Early Romantic schools. Each model is chosen for its exceptional musical qualities representing the best of each period.
