Venmo1880's Genossenschaft Grand Piano - World's Fair Exhibition The 1880's Genossenschaft grand piano represents one of the most extraordinary instruments ever to grace Piano Gallery's showroom. This fully restored 6'10 grand piano comes with a fascinating history as told by master restorer Helmut Koweleski, who shared that this instrument was reportedly one of only six pianos constructed for the World's Fair exhibition in the 1800s, allegedly commissioned by Franz Ferdinand himself. Beyond its museum-quality restoration, this instrument delivers exceptional tonal richness and historical significance that makes it perfect for discerning collectors and professional musicians alike.
Product Overview This magnificent Genossenschaft grand piano showcases the pinnacle of 19th-century German piano craftsmanship, featuring a meticulously restored walnut cabinet with ornate Victorian-era carved details and premium exotic wood finishes applied using modern Schimmel manufacturing techniques. The instrument underwent complete restoration by European Piano Restoration within the renowned Schimmel facility, where master craftsman Helmut Koweleski applied decades of manufacturing expertise to preserve its original character while enhancing its performance capabilities.
The piano's sound characteristics embody the warm tone quality that defined the golden age of piano making, with a balanced dynamic range that responds beautifully to both delicate pianissimo passages and powerful fortissimo expressions. Advanced restoration techniques included installation of a new German Renner action system, ensuring precise key response and consistent weight across all 88 keys, while the original soundboard was carefully preserved and repaired to maintain the instrument's authentic vintage voice and historical integrity.
