5 Octave Viennese Fortepiano after Könnecke Click here for a Sound Sample* This Viennese Fortepiano was inspired by the Könnecke piano in the collection in Nürnberg and the Könnecke piano supposedly owned by Haydn in the museum in Vienna. I later gutted the instrument to put a new action and soundboard into it because my thinking has changed and I wanted to bring the instrument up to date. That was back in 1996. I built a Graf type action for this instrument because I wanted a more substantial sound and feel to the action to replace the rather diminuative sound and action I originally built. I also wanted to make this instrument with an Una Chorda. That meant putting pedals on it. So now it also has a Moderator and Dampers that are worked by pedals rather than knee levers. The range of this instrument is FF - f''', 5 octaves, it has ebony naturals and bone topped sharps. You can see from the photo that the instrument is built using Mahogany veneer and solid Mahogany for the lid and legs. for the Price of this instrument, please inquire. *(Here's a trick to hear the sound sample and view the site at the same time. 1.Click on the sound sample to download it. 2.Then, download one of my other sites on your browser, in effect, opening a new window. 3.Click on the SITE button, at that site, relating to this site. 4.
