CONRAD GRAF – VIENNA 1825CA #1085

Conrad Graf (1782-1851) was the leading piano maker of the Habsburg capital. Vienna, cradle of great universally beloved composers, was also a hub for musical instrument development. Graf’s works stood out for their strong and solid construction, their excellent materials and the utmost attention put into their every single detail. Graf’s instruments were chosen by Beethoven, Chopin and Schumann, among others. Almost 100 out of an estimated production of about 3000 pianos survive today. This one restored by CASIGLIA’s workshop is #1085 dating back to around 1825 and is part of the Carl Bechstein Foundation in Berlin.
